Additional Background Info:

 

Robotix is a line of toy motorized modular construction sets used for constructing robotic creatures, vehicles and machines, often including action figures. Robotix toys were first marketed by the Milton Bradley Company (MB) from 1984 until 1986.[1] The 1985 cartoon series Robotix was based on these toys. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Robotix toys were sold by RC2 Corporation under its Learning Curve brand. Learning Curve changed the colors of the original MB toys from mostly black and white to bright colors, introduced new parts, and expanded the range of playsets.[2]

As of 2014, Robotix toys are sold by Robotics and Things, based in Simi Valley, California, which also offers STEM enrichment programs for children.[2][3]

Parts

 

Robotix parts, despite originating in the United States,[4] use the metric system of measurement for their pieces. For example, they sell three armpieces: 50mm Arm, 75mm Arm and 100mm Arm. These parts connect using a male/female attachment system, where each connection is in the shape of an octagon. The toy was high quality for its time of creation, featuring heavy plastics and rounded corners.

Ownership

Robotix toys were sold by the MiltonBradley Company from 1984 until 1994. An animated series of the same name was released in 1985.

LearningCurve Brands began offering Robotix sets in 1994, and continued offering them until 2001. The packaging at this time changed to reflect the Learning Curve name, and many new parts were added. Since 2001, Robotics and Things has continued to sell Robotix toys through the internet. Despite the changes in distribution, products currently available are fully backward compatible with all toys from 1984 onward. Information provided by Neil L. Friedman, Director of "Robotics And Things" in an email dated 11/5/2007.[unreliable source?]

In 2019,Robotics and Things retired from business and was succeeded by Robotic RiceLLC.[5]Robotic Rice has continued to sell Robotix toys until early 2021, when theyhave been forced to drop the Robotix product line due to the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

Robotix were a modular motorized building system that was made by Milton Bradley from 1984 through 1986. Unlike most construction toys, Robotix featured full fledged action figures.

A cartoon was released that was shown in the same block of programming as Big Foot. A comic book was also produced.

Argus was later sold at Radio Shack as R-4000. At some point in the late 80s or90s the series was purchased by another company and new sets were released.These included new parts and features such as a wireless remote control.

Robotix was hugely popular during the 80s due to its versatility – allowing kids not only to have fun building robots but also to take pride in creating something unique that they themselves could control via remote control. Milton Bradley created this toy line based on the animated series of the same name. The series was about a conflict on Skalorr, between Protectons and Terrakors, with humans caught in the middle. The toys were similar to erector sets, with motors, wheels, and pincers that could be used to create robots. Each set had an end goal, and its own name, and could be mixed and matched. Tyranix Series R-1100, R-1000, and R-2000 were some of the sets released. Robotix was like Legos on steroids and provided hours of fun for kids and adults alike.
