The Out command is used in the 1970s/1980s Bigtrack to dump the cargo on its optional cargo trailer accessory.

BIG TRAK / bigtrak is a programmable toy electric vehicle created by Milton Bradley in 1979, resembling a futuristic Sci-Fi tank / utility vehicle, possibly for use on the Moon or a Planetoid style environment.

Games magazine included Big Trak in their "Top 100 Games of 1981", finding it a "great challenge is to program Big Trak to run through an obstacle course, without pacing off the distances". A number of products in recent years have attempted to replicate the success of the BigTrak in education, but no one offering has caught on the way the BigTrak did. The circular hatch on the original was removable, to allow access to the 9v battery powering the electronics. Motor rotation is detected by rotating magnets fitted to the motors, and hall-effect detectors on the circuit board - the original used optical detectors.The BKT Giant Trax is an extremely tough tyre engineered for skid-steer loaders in scrapyards, recycling plants, mines and other very harsh environments.
