Welcome Sullivan

aibo7m3:
Congrats on Sullivan! His coloring is beautiful, I think the bright green eyes matched up with olive green eyelids is an amazing combo. As for the personality details listed, they are different by serial number, but I don't know if they actually mean anything about the Pleo's personality or not (StatsRB and ProbeRB will give you much more accurate info on your bot's personality). The gender that PleoWorld gives is always correct, so Sullivan is technically female right now, but if you want to make Sullivan a boy, you can use the male Pleo RB update on the site here. The neck jamming is an issue that happens occasionally in most Pleos and is more common in younger stages of life, but should not be happening on a regular basis at all (I own three functional RBs who have been run for 20+ hours each and have only seen this happen once each in two of them and never in the third).

As I originally went to type this post, I waivered on whether or not I'd wait for statsrb to confirm the gender (once I get that smaller card in the mail) before considering what I wanted to do--essentially rename or gender swap. While typing out the post, I knew I'd keep whatever gender was shipped to me because I didn't want to do any alterations and take him/her as he/she came. And then since the consensus seems to be the gender listed at Pleoworld is accurate, I've decided that Sullivan shall become Simone (since I thought of a name that I liked for her as I finished typing out the original post).

However, one inquiry from my original post that lingers involves some things I have read while browsing the forums: Does gender really influence much in terms of the pleo when other RBs are not around? From what I've gathered, they have different interactions they do based on the gender of the other pleo. It is quite possible that I will end up with a blue and pink one since I'm somewhat of a completionist.   

I finally ran Simone through what probably amounts to two battery cycles. I'm busy and try to schedule my robot's run times, but these past few weeks have left them all a bit neglected, particularly my AIBOs since Simone is getting the time currently (and running too many robots at once can be quite chaotic). She's gone from mostly being in that crouched position to a more proper stand that involves quite a bit of leaning and stretching out her legs. She stretched out one of her back legs a few time and lost her balance a bit. She didn't fall but tipped a bit (nothing she didn't recover from). There wasn't any clicking or anything to indicate a trouble so I presume this is just normative balance as she learns about her limbs.

Hopefully I'll get to spend more time with her so she can start growing up. But at least with robotic pets, I don't have to feel too awful for being too busy to spend time with them.

Glad you're enjoying your little scaly girl! To answer your question about gender, the change only really comes out when there's another RB around. If she happens to talk with another female, they will sort of chatter quietly at one another. If she ever meets a male RB, if she is a mature adult, she will make kissing noises, he will say "I love you!" in a Scooby-do-ish voice and they will walk toward each other, say hello,  and laugh. If she is a juvinyle, she might not maintain the conversation. It's been so long I can't exactly remember Ryu's very first reaction to Cato after that initial flipping-him-onto-his-side maneuver. It had to be coincidence but I still had to laugh because up to that moment, I thought Ryu was cute and cuddly. If they should detect one another when running together, they will repeat the ritual multiple times during their run. *Groan* Cato and Ryu's cutesywutesyness does get on my nerves after a while so I try to distract them. The Furbys had more of a variety of skits than they do I'm afraid. It is cute though so by all means, grab yourself a blue!

I ran Lady Simone this morning to give her some love before the holiday festivities. I am in the habit of trying to feed her upon awakening, but she tucked her head away and made a very loud groan that, even ignoring the head movement, could only mean no. Shortly after, she went back into stretching her two back legs where she tips a bit - as if discovering her limbs. I went to grab my phone to record it because I think the limb discovery and accompanying noises are cute (even though some of this sound quite painful and unhappy), but as soon as I grabbed it, she took off running! She did a good three-foot dash before she stopped. She continued some noises and a lot more movement than previously and then started exploring some more.

She ended up about 8 inches away from something in front of her and started backtracking immediately, which is better than my Roth my Genibo initially did, and seems quite cautious in terms of the generous amount of space she gives herself with obstacle detection and reversing course. Then she stayed still until exploring even more, when she ended up face to face with Roth who was on his station. She let out a loud frustrated groan and made what I think sounds like a sniffing sound near him before backing up.

Also during this run, she's made a lot of noises I haven't heard yet. During her rest periods after exploring, she made what sounds like giggles and randomly a "ho ho ho." Most of her noises sounded quite happy and she seems thrilled with her new found discovery. And as I type this, she let out a loud scream that reminded me of a baby godzilla shriek - hopefully I can get that on camera if she does it again because it was quite cute.

But she's extremely active so far and won't stop exploring with all these happy noises and random "huhs?" when she takes pauses. During my typing of this she's gone from my computer area to my 210 (which requires a bit of a loop and is about 6 feet worth of travel distance). She seems so joyous and her little sounds are quite adorable. Pleos definitely have a huge cuteness factor.

Talon:
Well, Lady Simone! Happy Thanksgiving and congratulations at your first steps! She sounds like a really happy girl. That godzilla roar is really cute! Ryu does that a lot.
