In this archived video, he gives a tour of the facility and discovers Build-a-bear costumes fit the EZ-Robot JD Humanoid perfectly! The hack he performs is on a Playskool Digger toy that he stumbled across at the Thrift store earlier that day. There's a nostalgia with the toy because it was also the toy he hacked for Make Magazine Volume 27, where the robot was lost in shipping for the photoshoot - never to be seen again. That was the only robot that DJ had built which was lost, so tonight he was able to rebuild the same robot by pure chance that a similar toy was spotted at the thrift store.
Hey guys!
We're just working through a bug or two, should be live pretty soon!
To view the stream and chat, looks like you have to do that on YouTube. Here's what you have to click on...
[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Huh? Weird all of a sudden youtube wants my phone number to sign in to participate in the live message stream and now won't even let me log in the regular way to my 10 year old youtube account. Sorry guys will need to sort this out for next live event as Last time I gave google a phone number I started getting tele marketers like crazy and had to change my number,LOL! Watching anyway.
Enjoyed tour and pretend hack of JD with oh my goodness where do the wires go and will build a bear suit fit.
When you said would do some robotics was hoping more for bleeding edge robot versus hack a kids toy but ...
loved watching the ending with doggy chasing the red ball. easy to do with EZ cam as I did the same thing last week with my Rad bot chasing a red balloon around the floor. it is actually more fun than it sounds,LOL!
Thanks - that was fun! We do that every friday anyway, so recording made sense. Also, sometimes it's hacking with software or writing new programs. Other times it is hacking a robot toy
@nink, lave the bleeding edge robot hacking to you
. I was definitely in a nostalgic mode when we came across Digger the Playskool robot today at the thrift store. If you heard me tell the story earlier - it was a big deal to me.
I think next time we'll do some software hacking
I did not realize Jeremy had his own stream going too or I would have had 2 windows going! Also I caught the stream Later and noticed that you guys had something that resemble a Rad robot sitting on the right of DJ's table ,but I have never seen that version on Ebay before,was that a hacked custom one or just a later model it had a name on it Bobby or something? Ya so I just watched the start of the Live video again and that Batman hack is awesome just need the mask!
I really enjoyed driving the telepresence robot. Especially after I found the speed control!
