Uglobe Pleo

Inno Labs Ploe Rb

[Laila3top123@Pleo]

I Want To Get A Pleo Badly But I Really Need Some Advice On Which One.
I'm Looking For The Pleo To Be A Good Friend And To Be Able To Program It Or Give It Skit's To Do.
I Need A  Clever Pleo And One That That Is Easy To Care For.    Or

You want a Ugobe Pleo, they are the ones that need the least amount of care and are the easiest to program

[Angela]

Both   but you probably want a Ugobe, but he has no warranty....and are more difficult to get...

I agree that Ugobes are probably your best bet, great to be able to program and I have really never met a grouchy Ugobe that stayed that way and they are very easy to take care of and very very loving. Also, I do not know about where you live, but Ugobes show up on a weekly basis here in the US and if you want to pay more they can be purchased from Taiwan, but cheaper to be had Ugobes on Ebay in the US, run less then $150.00 generally. I know of several members who have purchased them from EBAY in Germany, so that would be cheaper as far as shipping goes. Also from time to time, they are offered for sale here on the forums. 

                                Good luck.      RWM

Can You Buy This In Pounds.

[RedwoodsMama]

I can not tell you anything about pounds as I live in the US, but as far as Ugobes 'being rubbish,'I think most of the members here on this forum would argue that point. :oIf you are looking for a pleo that is pretty easy to care for and also program' then Ugobe is the pleo that fits that bill. I myself love Ugobes, having 26 pleos of which 22 are Ugobes.(4 are RB) I also have adopted out quite a few ugobes'including to members here on the forum...if they were rubbish, nobody would want them.

Pleo rb is the latest model of pleo and if you are planing on buying one of those then being in the UK robopolis is the place to purchase from.  I believe that buying from them cuts out the import taxes you would have to pay if you purchased elsewhere.    The RB's are great but are a little more complicated to care for than the Ugobe pleos and they are more difficult to program.  The Ugobe pleos have a USB slot as well as an SD card slot that can be used while the pleo is turned on - so it is easy to hook these guys up to a computer.  As for the RB's while they do have a USB hole it is inside the battery compartment so you can't use it while there is a battery in there and you need the pleo to be turned on in order for a computer to recognize that they are there.  So unless you can rig up some sort of external power device you wont be able to use the USB cable to connect pleo rb to a computer. 
The tools available for programing pleo I believe have not been upgraded to allow for the extra sensors and speed for pleo rb.  There is a PDK available for both of them but at the moment it is much easier to program with Ugobe pleos rather than pleo rb. 

Both types of pleos are great.  You will probably find that if you do buy one and like it you will end up with another  - I have three of each kind.  The rb's will interact with each other but not with the Ugobes and Ugobes will only interact with other Ugobes that are running the same OS. 
Pleo rb comes with a warranty and Ugobe doesn't, Pleo rb is new and Ugobes are second hand.

Hope that helps
