Another chapter of Chernobyl's history comes to light as we explore the half-mythical tale and successfully recreate the legendary toy robot of 1986! This makeshift machine was based on a toy rover, to which a radiation detector, vidicon camera, thermometer, and lights were attached. Back in 1986, it conducted primitive radiation and thermal surveys within the Sarcophagus of the destroyed Chernobyl Unit 4. Although its design was not as sophisticated as those which followed, in the early period after the Chernobyl disaster, even such solutions worked well.
The project was very challenging due to a lack of information and was completed through extensive research and component identification, relying on a written memory provided by physicist Oleksandr Borovoi and a few existing blurry images.
