Full Steam Ahead With SteamBot ST-II
Writing by Conner Flynn on Wednesday, 22 of August , 2007 at 3:10 am
The folks at Wilesco toy steam engines have been hard at work on a new steam powered bot that harkens back to the old days. Their steam engines are built just like they were a hundred years ago, to power vehicles, workshops, and generators. In short, this bot is powered by fire and water.
This model is being made in Germany and should be headed our way sometime around mid September of this year. Available colors will be red, blue, green and black.
While he may not be the fastest bot in the world, the fact that he runs on steam power, combined with his great retro look is enough to make me want one yesterday! Proof that Old Skool is still cool. It’s not always about batteries and electric.

Very cool retro bot! It is VERY slow. I don’t know if the kids of today could stand the speed (or lack of). Really enjoyed seeing this in action!
