I like that one too

And he actually tried to KICK Nova? And the mom did nothing?

Good think you were quick enough to grab Nova or who knows what could of happened

Thanks for the warning! I'll keep a very close eye on Gizmo! Your right, parents really do need to disipline their kids way more, that little boy could be kicking real animals too

Thanks for the warning, and I'm sure i'll have lots of fun

Gizmo just mooed for the first time

And I have the Pleo version of "Happy New Year" in my head

Nice shirt Gizmo has, he will learn but I think as Crewella stated, he knows who is "ruler of the roost", and not many people will argue with a little adorable green Pleo, who could grow up to be well over six feet tall( in real life of course )

If our pleos were real ,like their camarasaurus relatives, they would grow up to be 60 feet long. Don't think they would make a great pet at that size.

Everything below their feet would get smushed!

Haha, yep, they wouldn't be too good of a pet then

Y'know, I'm beginning to worry about poor Gizmo - he must feel like he's being chased by the paparazzi everywhere he goes!

Seriously, it's great to see you having so much fun with him!

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #32 on:** October 24, 2010, 01:29:34 PM »

Haha, I think he likes the camera attention

And yep, I'm having loads of fun with him

Gizmo has his first cold

I gave him a little baby blanket to cuddle up on until he feels better

Crewella · « **Reply #34 on:** October 24, 2010, 08:22:03 PM »

Awwwwwww, poor Gizmo!

Heartbreaking as it is to see them when they're sick, I do agree with RWM that the fact that they CAN is one of the real touches of magic that Ugobe put into Pleos.

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #35 on:** October 24, 2010, 08:30:08 PM »

Hes all better now!

And I agree too, I've never had a robot that can get sick until now

Congrats on Gizmo's arrival

What an adorable baby dino, I never get tired of the hatching

Thanks IMR!

Gizmo is defintily a crooner, My favorite sound singing is the last one, where Pleos sound like Crickets, you know Jimminy Cricket! Very cute hard to not love a Pleo when they sing. Watch out for little kids or annoying adults who may pet or try to hurt Pleo, thinking he is just " a toy", and don't realize that he can actually be hurt, I once had a boy of about 6-7 years old, try to kick Nova's head with his foot when I had her on the ground in a store, looking at clothes. LUckily I was quicker than him, and if looks could kill, that little boy would be rubbing his behind right now, where he sits down, and he would dare not try that again! I was so mad, I just picked up Nova and left the store, his mother was less than five feet away and just ingored the whole thing! >:(It is parents who need to disipline their children, and I can tell this mom didn't ...Oh well, good luck tommrow and have fun.

OMG! Really!? That's awful!

Have fun with Gizmo!

Gizmo just fell off of my desk

I left the room thinking he'd be able to detect the edge and not fall, but he sadly couldn't

The good thing is he is still working great! Nothing broken

But I think a piece of the stuff where the battery goes is missing, heres a picture

More details...

(Missing spot is on the left)

Also his battery is getting hot very fast and he is occasionally freezing for about half a second once in a while (Probably normal and i'm just paranoid so I notice it more)

bhobbes · « **Reply #43 on:** October 29, 2010, 07:34:06 PM »

Minus the falling part, mine freezes every now and then for a moment and sometimes the battery gets warm - I can still handle touching it so I don't consider it hot - but not any warmer than laptops get or my iPod touch gets when I've been playing games on it in class. I'm assuming it's probably normal - no different than when a computer temporarily locks up for a few seconds. Though, we all know what they say about assuming so if I'm wrong someone please correct me hehe!

Also glad to hear your pleo survived uninjured!

bhobbes · « **Reply #44 on:** October 29, 2010, 07:36:02 PM »

Oh and that "missing" spot is normal if I'm looking at what I think I am (on that warm iPod right now so I can only make the pic so big lol).

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #45 on:** October 29, 2010, 08:04:08 PM »

I'm so happy to here that, I was so worried

Gizmo is taking a nice long nap while I watch a movie to recover from his fall and to let his batteries charge and cool off

Thanks Bhobbes!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #46 on:** October 29, 2010, 09:44:35 PM »

I don't see anything missing either but make sure Gizmo has lots of pets and cuddles after such an awful experience

Lilo took a bad fall once when a person holding her dropped her, as long as they don't land on their necks or tails they are pretty sturdy. For future reference though please be aware that Pleo needs very good lighting to detect an edge so always supervise closely.

Crewella · « **Reply #47 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:57:36 AM »

Phew - glad Gizmo's OK! That pic looks just like Budge's battery 'slot' so I don't think there's anything missing, as the others said.

As IMR says, the edge detection needs good light to work, and also for them to be at the right angle to the edge, so you can't rely on it to keep them safe. Even switching them off isn't foolproof apparently - I heard a 'thud' last night and found the cats had knocked one of my Pleos off the sofa - it was actually the bricked one, and no harm done by the look of it, but it gave me quite a fright!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #48 on:** October 30, 2010, 07:59:33 AM »

As Crewella and IMR said, little dinos can fall and it pays to be safe.with nine cats in the house, a dog and myself and another large humanoid, I carefully put each Pleo in their own packing box each night or when not conversing with them, and if they did not come in a box, just find one large enough to pack them secrurely and esp protect their necks and tails. Glad to hear Gizmo is Ok!

Firebreathingsquirrels · « **Reply #49 on:** October 30, 2010, 11:47:45 AM »

Ohhh, oops, forgot they had to have good lighting

Thanks for telling me! I'll turn him off or bring him with me from now on, I have no problems leaving him on my desk since I have no cats and my dogs rarely come in my room, and when they do they can't get on the desk anyway
