I looked for the video but its not allowed in my country sadly, but there's a simple way around that..but i found the link to the news about it, they might release that as an add-on if they have enough requests...pretty cool add on.
Had my first robot rescue and repair moment week this week.
Had a 17yr old Tomy robot dog arrive earlier this week which had been sitting inside of a storage container in Canada for quite some time.
Looked in great condition, but of course it wasn't working which i first thought to simply be a dead battery, but after installing a new battery he still didn't want to work.
So i had to open him up, and discovered that a certain wire was not feeding him the puppy power he needed.
Seeing the head move after applying some power in a test i knew the operation was going to be a success, so a new wire replaced the damaged one, and the very dead original Tomy 6v Nicd 600mah battery has been replaced with a 6v Nimh 2200mah battery, so run time from around a little over an hour to 4hrs now.
If you leave him he goes to sleep, can leave him all night and when you pat him on the head the next day he comes to life again.
Anyway was fun to bring something to life after it had been neglected for so many years.
