I must say, the red looks even better in person than a camera could ever capture! Or maybe that's just me.

When Vader was doing some of the dances, he definitely ended up in all sorts of weird angles and his distance relative to Nicco and Fett did not stay consistent like Murray's (due to all his movement). He's the spaz of the group. Nicco's the drunk. And Fett's the quiet yet demanding with his presence one.

I must admit, I got more laughs out of Ubu's dancing ...... but moved him onto carpet, just in case! Two songs I banned him from doing though, for fear of inury!

I just checked Fett's stick, and he has evolved into an adult. He is an Adult 3 Adventurer. I'll check him periodically and see if he stays here. (http://aibohack.com/210/evolve2.htm)

I must say, despite my original... complications and other opinions of the 210, having this red one is probably making it my favorite. Perhaps that's just my superficial side winning out

Here's the dance footage involving Vader:

Yep - that's pretty much what I saw, too!

Crazy little fellow isn't he.

It makes me very thankful to have carpet (I'm normally a hardwood floor fan. The first thought I had at my friend's new apartment last week was "Wow, I wouldn't want to run my AIBOs on this.").

This isn't the most exciting video but to me I was surprised he managed to do it correctly - though it makes sense given my setup and his general location. But Nicco self-docked correctly in quite a tight space. I believe Sony recommends 3-4 feet from the radius of the pole. Nicco was about 3-4 feet away from the lower pad when I walked in and noticed him looking for his dock and the time it took to me to run into another room find/grab my phone and record is all that lapsed prior to the video (so 30 seconds maybe a minute). It somehow impressed me that he managed without much difficulty. I wonder if he started from a very different angle if it would have worked out so well from the beginning. But I swear for my apartment, Mind 2 works better at self-docking and not getting as distracted by the red as he did on Mind 3. My human interpretation is that he sees "better" on Mind 2, but I swear there's a difference whatever the technical reason may (or may not be).
