Roboraptor

As many of you probably know, the RoboRaptor's inner foot pads, (as shown here)

I have this strange urge to add L.E.D. eyes to my roboraptor and was wondering if it would be possible to just power them off of the L.E.D. emmiters in the nose section.

If you've been visiting my I Got Some Help Thread :) , then you'll know that WowWee refused to replace my robots. My mom sent an E-mail to them last night that might just change their minds though. But if it doesn't, I will fix my robots by myself. I will need some help with that. As soon as I'm done fixing them, I want to add some hacks and mods.

I have a couple of problems with my roboraptor. The first and most serious is that its left leg barely moves when walking forward. The second problem is that when the roboraptor turns its head to its right, the head rotates clockwise completely on its side instead of staying upright. The head turns back again properly when it looks straight ahead or the other direction so its kind of strange...

To anybody thats opened this thing up, do these sound like easy fixes? I'm guessing some plastic piece(s) are broken inside and maybe just need gluing but really don't know....

My other thread was about my Roboraptor's problem. But this one is about your opinion on it. So how 'bout it? What is your opinion on it?

Hey sup Robocommunity? I was wondering if Roboraptor is any good. I am a somewhat begginner not entirely new but I just got a Roboquad and I love it. From anyone who owns it, do you think it's cool or can it get really boring. Also is it worth the price which I don't know. Any feedback?

In a recent thread there was quite a bit of discussion regarding the (now) undocumented tracking function of the RSV2. The RoboRaptor also has this undocumented behavior buried in its cyber-reptilian brain.

When the RoboRaptor sees the proper coded IR signal (no longer available as a button on the RoboRaptor Remote) it will navigate itself to where it sees that signal.

It just so happens that the RoboReptile Remote's FEED button generates just the right IR signal to activate the tracking behavior.

I picked up an orphaned RoboRaptor last spring. One of its faults is that its mouth never opens during the left head turn. The poor little guy suffers from lockjaw.

At least he did, until tonight.

It now snaps those jaws like a good raptor should.

Here's a little video and stills montage detailing what I did.

I GOT A ROBORAPTOR FOR CHRISTMAS, AND IT WASN'T NEAR WHAT I EXPECTED. IT CAN BARELY MOVE AND YES THEY ARE FRESH BATTERIES. THE SOUND SOUNDS FUNNY SOMTIMES AND IT CAN ONLY OPEN IT'S MOUTH WHEN IT'S HEAD IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. COULD SOMEONE TELL ME IF I GOT A BAD ONE , OR IF THATS HOW IT IS. THANK YOU.
