Logo-alike spotted on robot *LINK*

Hello all; it's been a minute.

I was at the Vintage Computer Festival West (VCFW) convention in August and did a double take in the consignment room. It was something called a "MICROBOT TeachMover", see attached link.

The logo is not a blatant copy but I think it's a bit too close to be an accident.
I haven't been able to nail down the exact production date, but they've been in production since the 1980's, and were bought out by Questech Inc in 1991. Maybe they did a brand refresh a couple years later and the graphics designer decided to pay homage to their favorite game?

I have a higher res photo of the unit I saw in case somebody wants it, but the items at the link are otherwise identical.
