Valiant Roamer

[mikeprice]

Hi all

 

One of the TAs has been sorting out a cupboard and has found 2 Valiant Roamers - last used by Moses as far as I can tell

Inevitably they were both left switched on but the batteries haven't leaked

 

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get them to connect to a PC - or has any old bits like cables, software etc that is unwanted and we could have, steal, borrow or whatever??

 

picture to determine vintage is below

 

thanks

If you were round here - it could have been this one!!!

One of the schools I supported before I worked here had one of them still brand new in the box that I found while performing an ICT inventory, that was about 3 years ago.

I'm pretty sure they don't connect to a computer, all the programming is done just using the buttons on top. You can put a pen in the middle if you want draw lines all over the carpet when the kids program it wrong and it goes off the paper :-)

My niece has one of these Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar Deluxe Gift Set | FGN82 | Fisher-Price and it reminded me of the Romer we used to have in primary school! Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

 

From what I can recall, we only ever used to press the buttons on the top and it would do 'something'. I was only about 8 at the time so forgive my lack of memory.
