Title: Some cool pics
Post by: justbede on February 23, 2010, 11:12:19 AM

Here's a link to a site with 19 pretty cool pics of Pleos hardware, prototypes etc. You may have seen some before but they're worth a flick through :)

Interesting pics...not for those with a delicate interior, though. ;) I've seen the 'furry pleo' picture before. It'd be fun to have one!  ;D

Ahh he's had a broken neck for some time, it's got to the point where  it's getting in the way of him doing his thing so i'm going to try my very best to help him back to full health. Hopefully  ???

just  make sure you check out those photos on where to cut ( and cut lightly) around the neck.

Thanks for sharing those. I go to school for animation, so it was real cool to see the rig they made for Pleo.  :D

No problem :) i love seeing the tech behind Pleo and am always looking for new info! Animation is a huge part of so many things (games, films, robotics etc) so you've got a good subject there  ;)

I saw your thread on it, you've got lots of great details and pics thanks for those, also the wire info helps a lot. At the moment I'm trying to find a wire with the right, gauge, flexibility and strength before i start opening the pulley systems. Yeah the skin's tricky, in the end i just had to cut the underlayer as well but nvm  %).
I'll let you know how it gets on don't worry though I'm aware of the possible repercussions  :'(
Eeek off topic :-[
