does anyone remember a basic electronics learning game,where the little guy
builds circuits in a submarin like craft, with sensor plates on all four sides.The object was to build ever increasing difficulty circuits within the robot ship to deactivate force fields or open doors ect..ect all the while using the various components of basic robotics and circuitry..........It had a dumb name like robotron..robotropolis???..............OR if anyone knows of a game along these lines please let me know the name.........thnks

Oops...nope,not electroman.............Let me take it one step further,
The game was developed as a learning tool ..practical application..and was used by electonics students in the early 80s....not a platform game,but more of a maze game.........the inside of his sub like craft had four panels,one for each wall..with 4 contact points per panel...you actualy build a circuit within the robot ship,which then goes into hostile enviroments and tuns off force fields and traps ..open doors ect..ect...

<a href="http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?n ... sey%2C+The"> The Robot Odyssey</a>

Im pretty sure this is the right one..

After a few minutes research googling the term 'robotropolis' which is the city of the game, then it refered to puzzles.

There are some screenshots there.

Sounds really good, Im gunna get it :)
