Reply to New Detailed "Wrex The Dawg" review posted with video on June 7, 2008

Wrex looks much more complex that I thought - though much of the innovation seems centered around his personality. Are you going to include him in the list of bots compatible with Robodance?

Reply to FlyTech Bat Sneak Peek!! on June 7, 2008

I'm impressed by the Bat's ability to fly slow (and it looks like it can hover). Reminds me of hummingbird flight. Could you post a video of it flying fast & at full throttle?

This clip shows HAL's flexibility (climbing & descending stairs, sitting down). There are also good closeups of how it's attached to the wearer's body :

Pete, does your Chatterbot react during your chat sessions? Does it respond when new mail comes in?

Reply to How many Bladestars.... on April 16, 2008

Maybe a paperclip :) For the Bladestar to be able to "move" substantial weights you'd probably need neutral buoyancy, a party balloon should do the trick.

Reply to Whats the best type of Batteries to use on April 13, 2008

The 1.2 volt rating of rechargeables vs. the 1.5 of regular duracells is not that big a difference. Non-rechargeable batteries real power output tends to run down over time while rechargeables give the full 1.2...

Reply to Bladestar not very responsive.... on April 13, 2008

try the 9v Duracell batteries & see if you get a more responsive Bladestar. Generally it's not a good idea to use batteries with voltage ratings much lower than what's listed on the equipment.
