alt Hacker NewsAnyone 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?

Yes, I remember. See anything familiar on https://www.weeklyrobotics.com/articles/2023_01_25_the_histo...

Did it look like this:

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

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...
