and then it wouldnt activate after that?
Categories: Robot Hacks and Mods Robosapien V1 & V2
Just got the V2 a month ago and it was working fine. Just about a week ago it was in free roam bent over and said I think I have a bad motorvaitor and I tried it several times with the same results. Batteries were all Durcell but the D-cells were slightly used. Purchased new alkaline Energizer and ended up with the same results. Went back to store and picked up 4 new Duracell AAA batteries and still the same thing happens, checked to make sure they were in right. When you turn he on he starts his log-on mode and right after the intro line he bends over says I think I have a bad motorvaitor. Can anyone help me? Is thier a reset or is it curtains for my RS. Thanks Cooter

Correct, it would not do anything after that. I would have to shut it off and than turn it back on. About 3 or 4 tries it would sometime say something different that ended in human error but it would still shut down and I would have to do a restart to get him to do anything. Thanks for any help, Cooter!
Thats weird~
what did you do to it XD
Did you try changing the D batteries as well?
(I mean who knows)
Clean the D-Cell contacts (and also the batteries) and reinsert them. This helped me when my RSV2 had a bad motivator
All batteries are brand new. I'm going to pick up brand new duracell D batteries and see if that does anything for his motorvator. I have in past had problems with the energizers not proforming up to the duracells. Once I do this I will post results. Thanks Cooter.
I have a similar problem with my Robosapien, it arrived
me like some two weeks behind, I was operating it with
the Robosapien Dances Machine, and after ordering it a
Fetch, only positions their hands, and it didn't make
anything, I attempt again two time more and reacts a
little, and a little later told me that the right
battery was low, and then shutdown. I put it then of the
side right the batteries "AAA" rechargeables such as the
of their foot right, I turned on it, but nothing didn't
make absolutely, I thought then that all the batteries
were totally discharged.
I allowed pass 4 days more, recharge the batteries AAA
Energizer, and I had 3 packages of batteries new
Energizer D type- I buy them in packages of 6- and in
order to become trained it to the grandson of a friend,
I put you them, all new newly open and loaded.
Upon turning on it, begins saying "self diagnostic
initiated, and after that, only moves the eyes and the
head to the same time, with two short movements, right
and left, I have that push stop, it's not made the
presentation of WOWWEE Robotics, only it makes the
flinch once, and later no longer you see the objects or
my close hand, equal the audio system, only it makes it
once, moves the arms, the hips and the waist well
directly, but upon putting it to walk, and put it we
give, reset, special functions that include the legs,
bend down to grab objects, etc, you simply position
their arms lightly to the front, and it doesn't make
anything more; I put stop, and responds, but doesn't
move the legs, neither obeys all the commands.
I use Energizer Batteries type "D" and Energizer rechargables for their brain (type "AAA"), and then change the rechargables for Energizer "AAA" alcalines.
What do I do? do I harm it, does enter in short circuit,
and if is it so, where do they repair it or do they give
me a diagnosis guessed right of the one which it
happens? I live in Cancún Quintana Roo, Mexico, and in
these moments appears me far of any place of the world.

Well, I'm try to contact with the person who sell me, but I don't receive response, and I'm contact now with WowWee, especially with Natalie, and now with Jessica in Florida, she see the part of México, and I'm wait a positive response.
In fact, how do I can contact with Knitsu?, I send he an email of my problem, but I have not received answer, and in a blog believes, the view he had burnt their Dual Core, (I don't know if that is why perhaps has not answered my emails).
Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone can help !!!!!?????
I bought a Robosapien v2 for xmas and about 3 weeks after very little use,I left it on free roam,It was wondering about I didnt even have the remote to hand!,
Suddenly i heard a click and now he leans to the side. He cannot walk and doesnt return to his original position.
I also have tried to contact knitsu for advise but with no avail can anybody help?
Is it fixable?

And where should i go for this ?
Please help ?

Disregard my last entry.

Hey cooter, my first robosapien did the same thing. The whole "bad motivator" saying is a quote from star wars. Also, NAOM1, Try checking his ancles. When mine made a click noise and stopped walking it turned out the plastic around his on ancle jammed preventing his foot from moving correctly.
Cooter, There is a sensor in V2 which i think is located where the " butt " or the feet are.. try checking it... and see if it might be in the wrong spot or something...

Oh ya and try asking wowwee for another one if its defective and replace it if you can.
The Revolution will never end! :P
My robo did the same thing. When I laid him on his back to unscrew his foor-screws he commented "Brain Batteries low, powering down". I then ralized, that it had to do with the foot sensor in his right foot. After pressing that sensor in and taping it with gaffa everything works just fine. Note: Do not use rechargeable batteries for the brain, the have just v1,2 V and that makes 4,8 V together.
My both robots use rechargeable batteries for the brain and they are normal.
Leo: For example today I will get love which I use to create sentences.
Billy: But you are neutral you need love.
Bridget: In the sky and cover the moment.
Bridget: Do you think that sleep mode is better than a human soul.

I think that is supposed to be 'foot-screws', like the ones holding the battery covers on? tomcorner, did you replace the brain batteries too?
We need a RoboRepair shop! I too have tried to contact Knitsu to no avail 
Thunder- did you get a replacement or help from WowWee?

Scott, I hear alot of people say i tried contacting knitsu but no avail.. what do you really mean by that.. maybe he doesn't like shipping to the US, i know here in canada he would probably help me out...
The Revolution will never end! :P
RR, I tried emailing to his gmail account from this page on evosapien.com
If you know of a better way to contact him, let me know by PM?

Yes, (pardon by not answering before), I'm already contact with WowWee, and they supply me pieces and reserves, provided I tell them that it is the one which I need, here in Cancún, there is a store of RadioShack that this willing to fix me it, with the condition of that I get the elements for the repair of my Robosapien, and as fears me that they are not me going to give the guarantee in Ebay yet, then I'm going to revise first, it perhaps is something as simple they as you say, any connection outside of their place, and if this further on of my knowledge and abilities, I then go to RadioShack.
I think wowwee reuses the parts for the robots that are send in if they are in good condition, they said they would exchange my v2 for a new one because there was a few problems in the speaker and the head.. He also had alot of problems in his leg motors, so they asked me to send it in.. From what i think, they were going to use the rest of him to use it for a new one or use the parts for a different robot because only a few things were messed up. I didn't bother fixing it myself.. i wanted a new one when i first got it because it was acting strange... And i heard Wowwee sends Knitsu parts that they don't need. I actually didn't send it because it would cost me 30 - 40$ shipping ( CANADIAN CURRENCY )to montreal so i started a little fight with bestbuy because their store policy is only 30 days when its supposed to be 90 and i managed to get a return from them. He is going to leave tomorrow, so i will not have a v2 after that ( Yes, I know its vey sad... ) because bestbuy don't got anymore of them.. Toys R us and bestbuy are sold out and it is discontinued there.. Now sears is just overcharging and i don't wanna give my money to cheap people. They are selling for about $300.00 (CAN) without 15% tax and i dont even think they are selling it now so i will have to live without a V2. Mastermind is also $300.00. Thanks, Bye.
