Are there any working ports for Mac?

archive.org has it in its Apple II disk image collection:

Just need an emulator.

And a scan of the manual:

Here it is running on my Javascript Apple 2 emulator: http://porkrind.org/a2/?disk=Robot%20Odyssey%201.0%20Side%20...
You can also find a DOS port online. And play it using Boxer.app boxerapp.com
The guy in the above mentioned 'lets play' videos says that the DOS version (he has) has a bug which lets you use the soldering iron in the tutorials but not in the actual game.
I think it's the copy protection which can be bypassed by a patcher at http://scanlime.org/2009/04/a-binary-patch-for-robot-odyssey...
