*Laughs* The pulling apart and documenting doesn't take more than a few hours, but it take at least twice as long to put it on my website.

So have you solved your power supply issues?

It's so Terminator!  I luv it!  Very sci-fi ... very "scare the pets" ...

U planning on doing the same thing to other wowwee robots?

We come in peace....

I think it's great, RobosapienV2-4mem8, and I have to agree with robotNoob that it's a little on the scarier side (not at all a bad thing). 

Thought I'd pull a picture forward for everyone to see right in the thread...

Actually, if you see him in the dark, he's more Borg than Terminator.

Cool

Ha Ha, Thanks guys. terminator is what I had in mind as this has the back ground music on my website.

Nocturnal: With your help I should solve my small problem, I will take a closer look this weekend and report back.

I will have to post some more pics as I have now added more goodies to him and done some robodance scripting, He is now running very well on his new P/S but had to add heatsinks to the LM 350T'S.

I think roboreptiles head is much smaller, you should be able to get a raptor for the same price or cheaper?

great minds think alike? I'm going to pick up a lot of 3 broken roboreptiles to fuse with my brokosapien- I'm thinking 'Fluffy' from the Potter series! (thanks to Owen for that idea :))

actually- these are RoboTyrannosaurs! Anyone know if the controller codes are different from standard RoboReptiles?

Not sure about the IR codes, they might be similar but I don't think they would be identical... just a guess, I might be wrong? I like the fins on their back, the roboreptile doesn't have those does it?

April 22, 2007 4:31 AM

Since the only differences between the RoboRetiple and the RoboTyrannosaurs are cosmetic, the circuitry is most likely identical, so the IR codes are probably identical.

There you go, I was wrong. Were they made by Wowwee aswel Nocturnal?

Well, I had my hopes up since one symptom was "don't respond to remote".

and yes Marcus- online here - but a lot of the pages say 'Coming soon'. I've no idea when these were released.

 Sorry for the thread hijacking, 4mem8! When will we see video of free roaming?
