If you want the kit, the Hero Jr. is in the current Heath catalog for
$200.   This package includes the robot kit, the RF remote control, 
the IR motion detector, and the ROM cartridge adapter.   The basic
robot includes a Polariod sonar, (for ranging), sound detectors,
and a voice synthesizer based on the Votrax SC01 chip.   If you want
to program it, you also want to get the rs-232 port ($50) and the
Basic cartridge ($50).

If you like to build kits, its a lot of stuff for $200.   I assume this
is a closeout price; at one point the Hero Jr. sold for around $800 or
more.    According to my catalog, this price is good until April 1,
1987.

If you don't want to build the kit, I might consider selling mine and
building the kit again.
