Anyone here remember a 1980's Logo-programmable robot that I once used in a TAG program? It had a pen, we would lay it on top of a giant sheet of paper.

It was like a little futuristic tank. I searched for a minute, and I cannot find the exact model. Did I imagine this?

It was probably one of the Turtle robots or a derivative of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(robot)

One later variant is the Valiant Roamer https://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/30545/Valiant-Roamer...

Did it look like this:

Doesn't have a pen, but maybe it was a modified version of that toy?

		YES! This was exactly it. Thank you. It seems my pen memory came from a different logo-driven bot. In-fact, the Big Trak was not even Logo-driven, but had a similar command system. I appear to have combined childhood recollections, but that was the shape I was "remembering." No wonder, just look at that thing! lol
