BugBots Video

Rudolph — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:01:53 GMT

Ya, I forgot all about getting video of my bugbots, like two months ago... Flippa683 reminded me the other day, and I finally got it done, sort of. Please forgive the (exquisitely) lousy video, the lighting in my lilliputian kitchen sucks for photos and video. I brightened/contrasted the vid a bit to make it easier to see. Now it's grainy and night-vision-ey... One of these days I might try this again with more lights.

Problem with Roboquad going in 1 direction

amytiville — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:39:35 GMT

Hi, Stumbled on this board and wondered if anyone here would know the answer. We were given a Roboquad for Xmas last year and at the time it worked perfectly. It has sat in a box for most of the year (in our dining room) (our 2 year old was scared of it and wouldn't go in the same room if it was out) We were trying to play with it at the weekend and it is doing something weird. The start up motion seems to be fine, but when you put it on the floor it just continually tries to move across the floor just using one of its back legs. We could not get it to respond to the remote control. A change of batteries did not seem to do anything. Does anyone have any ideas as to what we can do to fix the problem? Thanks Amy

Look out Robosapien, there's a new girl in town... And she's got the moves! Of course, I'm talking about the Femisapien, the latest of the bi-pedal humanoid walking robots from WowWee.

V2 voltage.

OldSuffolkLad — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 07:46:10 GMT

Hi everybody. This is a simple question which has probably been asked and answered before but I am a new member from England so this is an easy way for me to introduce myself and get started on the site. What is the motor voltage on a Roborapien V2? Are the batteries run in parallel from each leg, giving 4.5 volts, or am I right in thinking they are run in series giving 9 volts? I was thinking of putting some flashing led's onto my V2 so wanted to know the voltage because I was considering wiring them into an existing circuit rather than running a separate battery.
