It beeps once and he freezes. He is OFF at this point... by himself. It beeps twice when I turn him off.
Is there a way to stop him from turning off like that??
Do the RB batteries work as well as the egg batteries?
Is this normal and will calm down or something?
By the way.. Every time I try to teach Bingo his name, he burps and laughs at me... lol.. of course now Everyone thinks it's hysterical to burp.. my bf burped at them and they all burped back nearly in unison..lol.
I hope I can teach him his name soon.
He also does this other thing... I'd wondered if any other RB's do it. when he does something that seems to make him very happy or excited, he lifts one foot straight up and out like he's asking for a high five... (it isn't a face or neck scratch, he lifts it high and looks at my face. So I just always say... high five, in an excited voice and he puts it down and acts very happy.
He sure is a little Jester.. always laughing and poking the other ones and laughing... I assume it's on purpose.

Normally when they beep once it means that they’ve turned them selves off but this is preceded by them going to sleep first.
Does he close his eyes and curl up into sleep position before hand?
They do sleep a lot for the first few charges but I can’t remember if they normally shut them selves off more. One thing to note is that they will go to sleep and turn them selves off with 1 beep if it’s dark and there left alone and they do this pretty quickly.
Just out of interest what time did you set the noon clock for?
Some pleos take a little longer to develop than others. My pleo didn’t stand up until halfway through the second charge and he didn’t start walking until the 3Rd charge. Some don’t start walking until the 4th or 5th.
It takes a little while after there walking before their ready to learn their name so this part in his development seems normal. Can’t give you an exact time though as again some learn faster than others.
Sorry I can’t help more.

His 12:00pm is (I think) set to my 1:30pm... my bf did it.. I sleep in alot from being sick and all and by the time we do all the medical crap in the morning it's already the afternoon.
What happens is he beeps once and then just freezes. He doesn't turn back on by himself..
I think this could also be the temp since a few times I just left the battery out for 20 minutes then he was fine when I turned him back on. But would he beep for temp?
Also, does anyone else's RB do the high-Five thing??

We changed his foot battery to a better time and that helped.. I'm a little annoyed about them overheating.. I think it will eventually cause a break.. They need to think of an artistic reason to have a slit or hole somewhere in the Pleo where it can feed out the hot air.. and then they need to secure that area so it doesn't grow into a bigger hole while hopefully making sure we don't see any guts... I dunno :( Thanks though guys.

The idea of having a hole to allow cool air into the mechanism might be a good idea to have them shut off less often but the that would probably also require inserting a fan somewhere also and I’m not sure of the practicability tbh. Even if you don’t include a fan having a vent means that dust and hair and things can also get in as well as air getting out and I think this might pose more of a problem.
That’s just my thoughts on it though

Maybe Patches, with his ventilation holes, has an advantage, then? :P

Wow.. I don't know how I missed the rest of this post.. and that video.. I'm going to remove Patches skin probably tonight or tomorrow. I was just going to do the legs but everything is so deteriorated. Kat if you were serious I'd definitely like to purchase some sort of full body suit but it has to be somewhat happy and manly to match patches and his happy ways... (well, it just can't be pink, or a tomato.. ;D ;D ;D)
Thanks again guys.

Well Patches is Robo Patches now, I removed the skin last night.. I have some pics and video they just take forever to download so it'll be a bit.. I was surprised how easy it was to do.. got it in one piece.. took less than a half hour.. so I have a perfect face with slight neck damage and a perfect back but the rest is kinda.. eew.
He gets around SO fast now.. problem is he has maybe a wider range of movement now? and is obviously much more reactive to the touch sensors.. so he lifts his limbs very high and topples over easily.. Don't worry.. I would never hold him up by his tail.. I already got my finger stuck when rubbing his leg and he decided to lift it, pinning my fingertip in between until he decided he was done.. I can't imagine what he'd do to me if I pulled his tail.. he's dangerous now!
I tried the flexible bandage that sticks to itself but it just didn't allow for proper movement, when I tried it on his tail.. even tried it loosly and it was obviously getting in the way.

(He looks very happy to me)
Go check out the pictures on his 'nude' post and I'll have video up soon, it's not so bad at all. He moves twice as fast and he is amazingly loud! MOOOO
