Derek Dotson interview at the Consumer Electronics Show
PWOKristy:
You guys are very welcome! >:-D
latrine:
Cool video, is it an older one? I mean.. Pleo is obviously not available from where he said it is at the moment... also, did they come with a different battery and NOT overheat every 40 minutes at first? I'm going to go comment on the overheating, as he asked. :P
I really like Derek Dotson, he does seem so into what he does and he sure helped me with my weird Pleo....
and yeah, that was a really nice Pleo..

Hi, Latrine. Were you the one with the "autistic Pleo"? How exactly did he behave?
Talon
PWOKristy:
Old video of course. Like I said from the Consumer Electronics Show....
latrine:
Lol yes I suppose he was autistic .. he was happy enough.. actually he was ridiculously happy... he ran around doing 'Ta-Da pretty much all the time. He didn't really react to much, I think a tiny bit with petting him but I don't think he ate and he was not in the baby stage.
At first I was like ok... that's kind of neat.. then I was like uhh why is he running without the clock battery in his foot.. so my bf grabbed the screwdriver and then said.. uh, there is no third screw and his feet look nothing like the book.. RB battery was ridiculously hard to get in.. my bf had to do it.. which I wasn't too sure about because I'm still sick and weak and he's a lot stronger than me.. but then Degers helped me out and told me not to even try and put that battery in again.. from seeing the back legs and the battery slot sith I guess 'guts' exposed
Then I realized, with help from everyone here, especially Degers who walked me through lots of stuff, that he had ugobe feet and he turned to be a prototype.. Derek told me on the phone he had no idea how it got to Hong Kong and was not happy when I told him the bottoms of his feet were dirty before I even put him on the floor.. I also told him about as many of the issues I read here as I could so .. I hope that helps.. I also told him I'd bring my Pleo everywhere.. even thought bf thinks I'm crazy :)
I admit I was hoping to get to keep Frank, my little blue 'autistic' Pleo, just because it was obvious they wouldn't really have a use for him but Derek said he really wanted to figure out how it happened so it wouldn't happen again. I should have taken video... :'( But here you can see he looks more like the underside of my Ugobe guys .. and under the RB skin I could feel the slots the the older models have. His back legs too, no battery spot.
