Title: How many of you own a Robosapien?
Post by: walkercreations on January 15, 2011, 07:37:03 PM

I have been thinking about buying a Robosapien and was wondering how many of you own one? To those of you who do own one, are they any fun and are any of the hacks and mods for them worth doing?

I have what's left of one ::)
I found one in a skip when I was walking past last year. When I pulled him out from under the rubble, he was missing an arm, but I thought, what the hell.
They are a veritable goldmine of useful bits. Motors, springs, touch sensors, infra-red, microphone, speaker, LED's - all sorts.
I am currently fitting a servo and a small video camera inside his head, ready to mount on my Robonova-1.  ;D
They are so cheap on eBay now, my advice is get one. Even if you don't like him, you can always cannibalise him ;)

Every Robot guy should have at least 1 RoboSapien of some kind.

Thanks for the link. So far I haven't much luck on winning one on eBay. As usual I keep getting outbid. No biggie. I set a limit and stick with it.
