Tonight for your viewing pleasure, i submit another unusual chess computer

the Fidelity "EYEBALL" Chesster Phantom

this computer is unique in that not only was it a self-moving
(Robot)computer,and had the voice feature..but it was the only dedicated
computer ever made that contained motion detectors or"eyes"
in the front panel of the unit two eyes can be seen
when the player would walk away from the computer the computer would auto power
down..and wake up when the player returned

it contained the legendary Par Program by the Spracklens and was rated about
1850 Elo:
