A radio controlled robotic toy having a main body chassis with at least two middle legs and at least two corner legs attached to the chassis, the legs being interconnected and driven by a linkage drive arm which is, in turn, operated by a radio-controlled electric motor which has computer electronics and software to control and cause movement of the legs for propelling the toy forward and backward. A six-legged walking animatronic robot toy is one of the preferred embodiments, including a moving head with jaw pincers, six moving legs, which yields a versatile, durable, speedy robot toy.

Robotic toy

A foot insertion device to enable an athlete to very quickly don biking or running shoes while participating in a multievent sport such as swimming, biking and running triathons. The device comprises a plurality of shoe heel retaining sockets with compressible foam pad supports under the shoes. A 'foot funnel' of flexible material guides the athlete's foot into a shoe. Each shoe is held open by the foot funnel and by hook and loop straps that hold the tongue in an open retracted position. The back of the shoe heel is held in position in the device by hook and loop fasteners which detach in a controlled manner. The foam pad compresses in a controlled manner also, the combination operating together to assure that the athlete's foot is completely in the shoe before the athlete moves the shoe out of the device.
