@SteveG Thanks for posting that link. Those manuals contain a wealth of information about how the robot is built and operating principles. Good stuff.

@Nomad Don't let others get you down. I'll be willing to bet anyone would have problems making the NAO work properly. I'd love to help just to get a chance to work with one, but Belgium is a bit too far for to go for the opportunity.

A device like that needs a hands-on approach to get it to work. I have no experience with one so I would have to be there to be able to do anything. For what that would cost, I could probably buy one somewhere.

So, best of luck with it, and don't let what others think put you off of your robot hobby. Only you should live your life. Don't let others live it for you.

@Nomad I'm afraid the picture is too blurry to see what the problem is.

it has no slot to put the usb in.

Only the v4 and v5 have USB ports apparently, although I don't believe this to be true. Check my latest email I sent you, Patrick.

yup i saw that while dowloading v4. am off to bed,its very early.thank you guys,

Just an update to say that nomad has got his NAO back up and running. After 2 days of exchanging emails, personally contacting aldebaran customer support to clarify a few things that were unclear, and scrutanising their not very clear or well laid out user guide, I managed to offer some useful advice, and nomad did the rest. Basically it came down to doing a hard reset on the robot and starting the whole set up procedure with the robot and web surfer again from scratch. Anyway, all sorted now.

Happy days.
