Back in the late 70s or early 80s, my mom bought me an expensive toy that was a kind of like a dump truck. You could program it to go forwards, backwards, turn around, and lift its bed. It was electronic and probably ran on 'D' batteries. I also had a blue light you could make flash (if I remember correctly). It had a numeric keypad that you used to tell it how far forward to go, which direction to turn and so forth.
This has been racking my brain for years. I cannot remember what company made it or what it was called. I think at the time it cost about $100, which was very expensive for a toy at the time. It was the most advanced toy of its time.
Does anyone remember this thing? Did you have one? Do you still have one???
ETA: I remember the commercial for it had a cat sitting still and it came up and bumped the cat and the cat ran off.
