When I first got her made, she did not have a nose or a mouth,or wig, or anything feminine about her. So, I bought and tried on several dresses. I got a boa to put around her neck. Well , the boa got tied up in the arm, the hair got tied up in the neck mechanisms, and the dresses took all of the cooling off of the EZ-Board. So, I went without a dress or apron, or boa. i just put Hair and barrettes and a couple of Red-Pink ribbons in her hair. This combined with her voice let's you know HEY, she is a girl. I had some other ideas, but this is all that sort of worked. She is almost finished. I have to replace her hand because the servo was bad and melted the hot melt glue until the hand came apart. So, once I replace the hand and then finish the software, I will have the basic unit finished. I am currently having problems with her chasing the ball and not stopping until the ball is not in her field of view. She will run into a wall, desk, or even into you if you get in front of her. The two IR units and two Sonar units are working fine and deliver the distance. But, she doesn't move autonomously as i would like. She stops when the ball is not visible to her. But, she has come a long way and I am glad of that.
