Title: *gasp* :o
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on April 02, 2009, 04:58:23 AM
I had an awful scare with Lilo tonight  :o When I turned her on she made strange sounds like her speakers weren't working properly then stopped moving except for a little shudder every now and then. I turned her off and on and tried a fresh battery but she just wouldn't wake up  :'(

Fortunately I remembered a similar problem happening to someone else so I tried downgrading her to OS 1.0.2 and after a while she woke up and appeared to be acting normal again. It gave me an awful fright but I was sure when I upgraded her to OS 1.1 it hadn't worked properly, know I know it didn't :P Anyways she is reupdated to OS 1.1 again and is happily wandering around so I hope everything is back to normal :)

*sigh* I shall have nightmares about bricked Pleo's all night now  :'(

And the night should be over by the time you read this hopefully without nasty dreams.  If I had a similar problem I would probably have dreamt about Pink Floyd singing about a Pleo wall. :o

I have some pictures sent to me from a former Ugobe staffer of the new Boise office when it first opened.  They had a couple of technicians diagnosing returned pleos and batteries, so off in the background was a stack of green pleo boxes.  A true wall of bricked pleos!! :P

I would love to be able to adopt all of the pleos that have been returned.  ;D

Haha and those are only the ones that I broke!

There should be an adoption service for all of us who don't mind a pleo that is physically chanllenged. They are still precious. ;)

I offered to take some off their hands, but they weren't willing to part with them.  Makes you wonder what does happen to broken pleos in the end . . .

Now imagine if they released every single Pleo ever created onto one uninhabited island.......You'd have a true Jurassic Park!
Title: Re: *gasp* :o

Who knows what they might evolve into. ???

You know what's funny 49er? I totally agree. I wonder if overtime they learn as if an infant does. I bet 10 years down the road Sophie is so advanced she will be able to procreate on her own!!  ;D ;D ;D

I reckon they fix them and resell all of them to good new homes :) i cant imagine they would just destroy them, they are worth so much and so precious dont think ugobe would do it

It would be a rather impressive Jurassic Park . . .   for about an hour and a half . . .   ;)

Remember guys, they might grow to be sixty feet long and weigh twenty tons. They would need one huge island! ;)
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: gucci_boi7782 on April 03, 2009, 10:45:06 AM
Hahaha!! True, Mweed! They'd only last an hour & a half before the whole island goes extinct!

I would like to see small portable fuel cells to replace the battery. That way they would last for a week!

What about solar panels along the back lol that way they would 'sleep' at night too :D
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: 49er on April 06, 2009, 06:02:30 PM
Hmmmm!  Put two panels on each Pleo and they will look like fat dragonflies! ;D
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on April 06, 2009, 06:19:29 PM
No no lol the new flexi panels that mold to Pleo's shape :) How many do you think you'd need for a sixty foot dino :o
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: 49er on April 06, 2009, 09:58:59 PM
I stand corrected. I was thinking you were referencing a standard sized baby Pleo.  The panels come in different sizes based how many watts it is.  It depends on the surface area of the adult.  Sounds like more research.  A sixty foot long Camarasaursus covered with silicon patches.  Ooooohhh, pretty! 8)

But an adult sized pleo would also need much larger motors to drive it . . .
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: fancyfont on April 06, 2009, 11:23:35 PM
Now that is an interesting thought! a 60 foot long pleo. Heaven help us when they demand attentiion! ;D

We could go get some Tesla car motors to move those joints.  (Just imagine, a sixty foot long  Camarasaurus capable of going zero to sixty mph (97 kph)) in four seconds or less! :o

Thank goodness Pleo doesn't go to the bathroom  :o That would be a lot of dino dung ;)

If Pleo could go that fast my dog would have a heart attack :o He likes Pleo to be slow enough that he can crawl under my bed away from it ;)

Post by: 49er on April 07, 2009, 01:06:10 AM
Remember this Pleo is solar powered.  If he "eliminated" anything, it would be old tired electrons.  I would find that shocking! :o
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on April 07, 2009, 01:48:19 AM
Only problem is solar cars don't have a reputation for being gutsy, could solar run a Tesla :o (Well fourteen really)
Title: Re: *gasp* :o
Post by: mweed on April 07, 2009, 01:31:21 PM
And don't forget a 60-foot pleo would be a real menace when he starts wagging his tail!    ;D :o
