For Christmas back in 1969, I got 2 very unusual robot toys. They must have been fresh off the boat from Japan as 95% of the writing both on the box and in the instructions were in Japanese. (LOL! They looked like they could have been Ultraman's buddies.)
They were SO cool though...twistable neck & waist, as well as articulation joints at shoulders and elbows. They had rubber tank treads & battery powered motors in their feet. Unfortunately, there was no way to control where they went other than forward or back. They had 4 different weapon systems with each bot & at least one weapon could also shoot these little red plastic rockets about 4-6 feet, (they were about the size of a TicTac mint). Of course today we know that would be a big time chokin hazzard for small kids, but in '69, they were the hottest toy you could get for Xmas

As for Technology:
I'm looking at "One of the most scientifically advanced Calculators ever built" in the mid-to-late seventies- the Texas Intruments SR-51A.
Or a little bit more computerish: how about a pair of Timex-Sinclair 1000 "computers" and the optional, but tiny thermal printer ...
Or a fully working Apple IIPlus with monitor and dual 5/14 Floppy drives and a DOT matrix printer..
