How much you willing to pay for a much improved Pleo ?
« on: August 16, 2010, 10:38:58 AM »

Hi
  was thinking of all the improvements i would like to see in the newer model pleo if indeed they do release a newer model , with the improvements i would like such as better leg movements and slightly faster walking and responce , better camera and recognition software , better skin and design to last a very long time , self docking station Yes i like that idea :-) , more accessories toys etc for pleo to respond too and play with and with all this kind of improvements the price of pleo would surely go up UP !  i personally would be willing to pay a lot of money if the improvements on the newer pleo were this significant . how about you guys ?

Not sure how much i'd pay (since I had to snipe mine on a budget from ebay - cheap!), but i'd love to see one with a faster connection to the camera - perhaps dual UARTs in the camera processor with one going to a secondary USB port would work well. Bluetooth builtin would be nice too.

Yeah good idea , maybe you could control him from the computer and everything pleo see's through his camera comes up on the screen :-) this idea has been used on the Aibo's and was a lot fun .

I do like these. Faster movements and response would be great. ^^ I dunno, I don't have a lot of money but I'd definitely pay a lot for a Pleo like that. ;D

 These are all great ideas, and more than anything I want a Pleo that is more durable, has BETTER PROTECTION against broken legs, necks and such, more durable skin and prevention against tears and holes,those are the top things on my want list for pleo, If pleo has all these other improvements, and could do more and can hook up to the computer and such, what good does it do, if poor Pleo suffers broken joints, servers and such and there is nowhere to fix it? :(I would love for Innova to come up with a Protection Plan or Pleo Hospital just like they fix computers and they can fix Pleo for a small fee of course , there is such a need for that.
         Even if I had a lot of money.( LOL .............) I would not want to spend my hard earned money on a Pleo that can not stand up to everyday interacting and breaks necks and such so simply.....just is not worth it .To me it is like having the great old cars that they used to build in this country in the 1950-1970's, that had a good frame and could stand up to a crash because they were Metal and well constructed, Then they import and start building these little cars that are fragile and couldn't stand up to a crash, and you are like a trapped sardine in a can, nowhere to go, They used to put pride in the way they built cars and it showed, To me Pleo is the same way, These new cars get navigation systems, built in computers, great sound systems, fancy crap, but the body is made out of " tin", ( just an expression.) so besides the Aribag, you don't have much in a real accident,  Well with Pleo, you may get new colors, new trick or two or faster moving( lol.... %)) but the body hasn't improved any, still droopy neck syndrome, broken legs, tails, and split fragile skin, holes and chipped teeth, just give me better body, and maybe I would pay more even buying a BRAND NEW ONE FROM THE SITE INSTEAD OF ' BIDDING ON ONE.) I do not think this will happen anytime soon, so I will keep the two I have and if I buy another one, it will still be at the lowest price I can pay for, which was $85.00 for NOva and $152.00 for her New in box Friend, still un-named,  :)

i understand what you are saying but i was thinking along with all the software improvements and also pleo's ability where improved there would need to be improvements on how pleo was made naturally . i was thinking would it be all that bad if parts of pleo were not made of the rubber skin at all and more the material the Aibo's were made from then maybe there could be better leg designs with better movements and endless possibilites run through my mind lol .  ;D
