I recently found out that The Source was selling robopet on clearance, so I tracked down 1 locally.

It was a display model that was all beat up and dirty. The rear right leg moves by itself without the inside motor moving, so I figure that the connection to the motor on the inside broke.

When I turn it on, that rear right motor activates, but doesn't engage the leg.

So I'm trying to open it up to see how I might be able to fix it, but 2 of the screws heads are stripped somewhat (I think the Radio Shack (Source) guys tried to do the same), and can't get them to undo.

Has anyone had this problem with a leg motor connection, or can give advice on undoing a screw with a stripped head?

 Thanks.

 Other than that, the robopet looks pretty good actually. The skeletal leg appearance is growing on me.
