Default And yet another idea for a kit

The Heathkit company of Benton Harbor, Michigan was in business for decades as a manufacturer of electronics kits. I can remember reading their catalog back in the late 1960s and wanting to order one of everything. In later years they also had a number of computer kits including the only Digital PDP-11 clone kit available for enthusiasts.

Can you guess what their most popular kit was? (It still has a somewhat active user group today.)

[dramatic pause]

It was the HERO robot. The kit appeared in a number of forms and had various accessories.
