After searching through the internet, yours is the only site I found that had but one image of the Step Dozer. I still have my assembled and working Step Dozer and was thrilled to find the boxed picture. It brought back fond memories of the excitement I felt, when first opening mine!

Very cool history! My 3 year old is in love with Hank the Robot so Carson McKee from Ford Canada tweeted us a link to your post. Thanks for sharing!!!

Wow! Thanks for the “blast from the past”! Yep, that’s me in the pictures. I used to own a copy of the magazine, but I haven’t seen this article in over 25 years. I took two years of electronics at the Union County Career Center, and remember very fondly building this robot. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks!

However, remote manipulators conceptually are very similar to Scholz ‘phantom’, and are still used today.

back then thoose robots were revolutionary
but now they are just like robot toys.
i think they are really usless because you need
first to move the phantom then the robot is gonna move.

im just 12 jears old.

Yes, MM7 is controlled by a smaller model of himself and manipulated by Scholz, in this case. Reaction time is slow due to slow movements. MM9 is faster, as you say, to the point it can reasonably attempt to brush his wife’s hair!.

it is wrong that the robot is contoled by
a instrument panel its controled by a phantom
a little figure .
When you move the phantom figur the robot moves too,but mm7 has very slow movements
mm8\mm9 has faster movements

I did this as a science fair project back in the 80′s! Totally cleaned up with it too. Now I have to dig around and see if I can still find the book to try a modern re-creation.
