Valiant Designs Limited exhibited their new floor turtle, the `Roamer',
at the British Logo User Group annual meeting. 

The Roamer is a programmable robot, intended to be robust and reliable. 
It can be transformed by fitting different covers into all sorts of
robots: a fire engine with a flashing light and extending ladder, a dog
(with wagging tail and bark), and a bee with noisy flapping wings.  And,
like the classic Floor Turtle, it can draw on the floor with a centrally
positioned pen. 

Expected release date: November 1988; price around 70 pounds for the
basic robot.  Great fun.
