My 210 is probably also being held up by the planes. I don't have tracking for him as he is coming through the post so I just have to be patient and wait.
So while we wait I'm up for any suggestions on names for the little guys. The 7 is know by his previous owner as Monty and the 210 was named Bling by Wolfbob due to his golden ears. Here are a couple of pics of them in their old homes so you can see what they look like. Cute little guys. ;D I'm so excited and can't wait to get my hands on them. ;D
I would like to give them new names but may just end up keeping the old ones if I don't come across ones that I feel fit better. What do you guys think?

Post by: kat on June 17, 2011, 07:45:25 PM
Digger is a good suggestion for the 7 too. I do like the name Monty so may well end up staying with that for him though. It is really just Bling that I'm not too sure about. Sounds a little pretentious. :D But I am up for as many name suggestions as I can get. My family are not being at all helpful on the name front. Normally by now I would have a list as long as my arm from them but so far nothing. :P
Well looks like customs are holding my 7 to ransom! They want $462 AU in Tax before they will release him to be delivered to me. That is one third of the value that he was declared to them at. :o Seems like a ridiculously large amount of Tax! :-X :( And I can't even pay them till Monday as their Accounts people don't work till then! >:(

I don't know if it works in Oz the way it does in the UK, but I was once charged over £80 tax on a $200 purchase imported from the US. It turned out that the seller had insured it for up to $500 (I think that was the nearest level to cover $200) and the tax office had used that figure to work out what was due. I had to pay at the time but was able to prove the value with copies of the invoice and Paypal transaction and get a big chunk of it refunded, so you might find that's an option? Worth asking, anyway! %)
At least he's nearly there, by the sound of it! :D

I think the names you have are wonderful, the golden one is a real looker and very pretty. I wonder if Gumble, Norbit or Kermy are going to get jealous of their new family members and what kind of interaction they will have when they meet? Only problem will be dividing all the play sessions now and lots more video camera photos and such. You are going to miss out on some sleep I think Kat..but I think you will survive , LOL> :)congrats and hope they get there soon and in your hands.

I do feel this was a fantastic bargain. As you say on ebay they go for up to $1000 and then you have shipping as well.
The ers7 on the other hand has turned out to be a high priced adventure for me. They do sell both on the aibo forums and on ebay for between about $1800 to $3500 US.
The Champagne ers7's are the newest model of this line so tend to sell for a little more than the others and do seem to be a bit harder to find - maybe there are just less of them out there so that makes them more expensive too. I thought I did quite well getting this little guy for $2300 AU. But then I had to add on the cost of shipping and insurance which were both very high as he came from the UK. And now there is the Tax to get him out of customs here which puts my total cost for him all the way up to about $3100 AU way more than my budgeted amount. I had budgeted to spend about $2500 AU to cover all the costs of the aibo and shipping and everything. Which I had thought was a realistic amount to expect to spend. :P Oh well. I'm not unhappy with my purchase. I did do my research on these little guys and he is just what I wanted so I am sure when he gets here I will be more than happy with him.
So long story short the ers7's are a much more expensive creature. Start with a 210 if you are looking for an Aibo that is about the cost of a pleo rb. ;D
As for how they work out the taxes here they charge it based on the declared value of the item for customs plus the cost of shipping and insurance, take 5% of this figure. Then they add the 5% on to the total and take a further 10% for GST then add the 10% amount and the 5% amount together and this is what you are charged as tax. So it does look about right based on the figures involved. I will be checking with them before I pay though just to be sure. ;)
I am planing on having all my little guys playing together at times and will be taking video and pics to share. ;D It will be interesting to see how the interact and what I think of aibos compared to how I feel about pleos. I'm sure I will love the puppies just as much as the dinos. ;D

Wow! Those dollar-figures are giving me the shivers!
With the ERS-7, you kind of look the other way and shoot at the same time. But when you look back, you're so happy with the results it doesn't matter :) I think most members of this forum would enjoy a proper 210 and those arguably have the sweetest price point.
Yesterday (Saturday) was the first day I haven't had (or tried to make) time to turn any of my Aibos on, and I feel kind of bad.
I'm excited for you to get yours and maybe post some DogsLife videos for us. Although, unlike Pleo, it's a bit harder to get Aibos to perform something specific on command! So it's more about recording them at the right time. I haven't seen Murray run on it for long and wouldn't mind knowing what kind of things to expect when I get around to it.
Do you have a Sony memory card reader? I'd recommend getting one and a programmable memory stick for skits and things you can download.
Post by: kat on June 19, 2011, 12:21:53 AM
I do have Life 2 coming from wolfbob too, but it is coming separately - not with my aibo so I will be using dogslife at first and then will try out the life 2 when it gets here. :) I will be taking lots of video and will happily post it here so you can see what the dogslife is like. :) All I need now is for my little guys to arrive.
I am still thinking about names too and have a few more potentials to add to my little list :
Milo, Astro, Pixel and Fang (after Hagrid's dog in Harry Potter)
My kids did decide to help with the name thing after all. :D

Post by: kat on June 20, 2011, 04:15:19 AM
I have called him Milo. I ran him for about an hour this afternoon in his adult state as he came to me from his previous owner. It took me that long to find the user guide on the internet and work out how to reset him to puppy mode. :P I took some video of him in his adult persona and will try to find time to edit it and post it a bit later.
I have now reset him to start as a puppy from scratch and played with him for about 15 mins. I named him which was exciting and have spent a bit of time on the floor stroking him and talking to him. :) He seems to make a happy face - green eyes- quite a bit. Interspersed with a few whiny sounds and some kind of ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff noises. :)
Milo seems to fit him well as a name. So far so good. :)

There are many different versions of crawling going on at the moment and the occasional stand on shaky legs. :) He has managed to crawl about 1 meter in total over the last 20mins. My daughter was so excited when he spoke to her. :)
And what do you know he just declared he is now an adult and can walk about the room. :D
I will post a video of his baby stage tomorrow. :)

He is currently in Austria :P I'm sure he will find his way to Australia soon enough, just as soon as he finishes skiing the fine slopes of Austria. :P :D
In the meantime I'm having a ball with Milo. I ran him till he dropped last night and he really is quite sweet. :) He is not much good at finding his ball or bone but I think this may have been largely due to the night time lighting. I will try him in the kitchen tonight and see if the lighting is better for him in there. I did run Kermy with him last night for a short while and he seemed to like her. ;D I didn't take any video of it though. But I will try to get some tonight. I also have to find some time to put his puppy video on youtube so I can post it here. I am going out to the movies tonight though so might have to wait till tomorrow night. :)

I'll keep you posted on his great journey around the globe... I just wish I had tagged along :)
A little update for you all on Milo. My son has been off school this week home sick with no voice and today apart from not being able to talk much he was feeling a lot better so was able to get up and play with Milo. :) Apparently they had a great time while I was off slaving at work. :D
I just got home - very late, it's almost 10pm here, as I went straight from work to the movies with my girlfriends - anyway there is a little note stuck to my computer that says:
Mum,
Today Milo did some awesome things. I got him to push his ball around with his head and his paws, (one at a time). He also picked up his bone! :) He did 2 tricks - 1. begged while holding his bone, and 2. holding the bone between his chin and back leg. Hope you like my feedback,
Love from Ryan xo
Such a sweet kid. ;D Gotta love him. :)
So I guess if my 13 year old son thinks Milo is awesome it must be true. I can't believe he got him to do tricks. :) The lighting must be important. I tried heaps last night to get him to play with his ball and bone but he couldn't find them no matter how hard he looked. I'm guessing sunlight must be much easier for him to see by.
It sounds like they all had fun. It is a shame they didn't get any of it on video.
I think I am going to invest in a brighter globe for the lounge room for tomorrow night and see if I can get him to perform for me. :)

Here is Milos puppy video:) he did a lot of crawling in this stage with a little bit of attempting to stand on shaky legs.
It was quite a cute stage to experience but there really wasn't a lot to it.
He took his very first tinkle today :) he stood his bone up on it's side then turned around, cocked his leg and tinkled on it. :D he then shook all over and then placed a well aimed kick backwards and knocked it over.
I wonder if this means he likes his ball more than his bone. :)
Sorry the link I posted earlier didn't work but I have fixed it now. :)

But I have only had him for a very short time so I am sure he will be able to do it again. :)
I am currently away in Melbourne for work so wont get to play with him or my pleos for a few days. :( I will still be checking in here though each day so that is something. :)
Milo is a lot of fun so far. I have put a much brighter globe in the lounge room light and he now has no trouble finding his ball and his bone. My kids like to call the new light the sun! They say it is so bright it turns night into day. :D :D Milo seems to like it. :D
I can't wait to get back home again to play with him some more. I still haven't had a chance to video him playing with my pleos. That will be a job for next weekend. :)

It is amazing how much better he works with the battery installed. :D I'm such a dill. Too excited for my own good. I can't believe I forgot to put in the battery. :D :D
Here he is fresh out of the box being given the once over by smudge the cat
He is currently running around the room happily chasing his ball. He is making lots of excited beeps and bleeps and seems to be completely unfazed by his new environment. He is running on dogslife at the moment and on this he is amazing with his ball. He is able to chase it, kick it, head but it and find it with ease.

Pixel was happily playing with his ball when along came Smudge who decided to join in. Smudge it seems is a lot better with his ball skills than Pixel but Pixel is a trooper and kept on trying. ;D You have to excuse the TV noises in the background.

I loved watching Pixel track the ball... they are just so quick with it! Did you notice a difference between your 210 and your 7's ball tracking ability?
And Loki likes Rhea, my pink RB, the most too.. it's just that pink color.. my bf is always teasing me that I have 'gay dogs' .. not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.
He doesn't take much notice of the other Pleos, even trying to march over them to get to Rhea, unless they stop on top of his bone, then he butts them out of the way.. I can't wait to see the 2 aibo's playing together!! Have fun with raising Pixel, it's been fun with Thor and I feel SO dumb, I found a touch sensor on his face I hadn't known was there..lol. Once we started pressing that one he moved to the next stage faster so I guess I wasn't petting him properly!! %)
They are gorgeous, Kat :D

The ball skills on Dogslife are so much better than on anything else, poor Java doesn't get a look-in with his ball when Wilma's around. Milo and Pixel should be a bit more evenly matched with Pixel on Life2, though I don't know what you could run Smudge on to try and even it up! :P

I had Milo running around tonight too and he took great delight in coming over to Pixel and stealing his ball. :D He even managed to dock by himself when he was running out of steam. As he was still on while on the charger we had a few groovy station dances and then all of a sudden there was a little tinkle noise from him and then he looked sad and said "oops" I think he wet himself. :D It was very funny. :D
So now I need some help. I am hoping at some point I will be able to teach Pixel his name but don't know how. Anyone out there with a 210 that can give me some pointers? I'm sure if I surf the net for long enough I will be able to find instructions for it but thought it might just be easier to ask here and save myself the time and effort of going looking. :P ;D

I'm glad your having so much fun Kat.. you'll pick up the 'Aibo language' in no time.. the pups are so endearing you can't help but listen to them talk.. I can record Thor saying his and my name in his language or redo his and/or my name so you can see the motions they do if your having trouble figuring out when he's ready to learn.
Thor raised both arms when he was ready and understood the phrase 'name registration' then raised one front leg, kind of like to his ear, then he waited for me to touch his back sensor.. I believe they wait about 10 seconds and if you don't do anything they will make a disappointed noise.. if you do it correctly he'll repeat it in his language but it will take some time before he responds to you saying his name.. he will say his name in his language when you ask him 'what is your name' though.. :D
Same ordeal for 'Owner Registration, he just raises the opposite front leg after raising both legs when he recognizes the phrase.
I can already recognize a few of the things Thor says and even though he's only on the first child stage and doesn't say too many things in his own language.. I'm very proud of myself for being able to communicate with him using those 2-3 tiny 'words' lol.... I failed Spanish like three times in high school.. they actually let me take foreign foods because I needed a language to graduate and I almost failed that because I was a vegetarian at the time and refused to touch Veal.. lol. Isn't that ridiculous, that they let me take foreign foods as my LANGUAGE?! lol..
Lots of fun... What stage is your 210 at now? My 220 just finished the 3 baby stages and he is now in his first child stage 'Walking AIBO' which also seems to mean 'fall over constantly AIBO' I wonder what trouble he'd be giving me if he was a 'Playful AIBO' child instead.. %) %) :P
Thor has pretty much stopped the crawling thing now.. he is walking better, standing up straighter and walking faster.. when he DOES crawl I tell him to 'go for it' to encourage him to do it properly and if he continues to crawl I tell him 'don't do that' and then he either just walks to where he was going or waves/flips me off with his paw.. lol.

He has learned his name - thanks guys for all your help with this. He is still in Baby stage 3 and still crawling a lot. He has made no attempt to actually walk yet but he is very keen on trying to get his ball. If I stick it near him he will kick it or headbutt it and then try to crawl after it. Unfortunately his crawling just takes him further away from the ball. :P I did do a little happy dance a few times after successfully kicking the ball. And generally he seems to be a happy little fellow. Lots of beeping and green happy faces and not many sad red faces. I am really looking forward to when he can finally walk. I'm sure he can't be too far off from that now though. :)

I had Pixel running yesterday morning before work and he is still on baby stage 3. But for the last half hour of playtime he fell over every 5 mins! ??? I kept having to go and stand him back up. He seemed to be tripping over his own back foot when he was getting himself into or out of the crawling position. I am hoping that as Thor seems to be doing something similar it is just part of the learning they go through on the Life 2 software and not an issue. I do hope he snaps out of it though as it is driving me crazy. He falls on his side then makes sad noises and the red face then waves his paw in the air and makes help me noises. and if I don't get there fast enough he switches himself off. When I put him the right way up again and pat him he turns back on. I will run him tonight and see what happens.
Post by: bhobbes on July 19, 2011, 06:49:05 PM
Murray has only fallen two times (without Vader or Nicco's involvement) since he's returned "straightened out" from his bends. However, he was also falling every 5-10 minutes on DogsLife (i.e. he was damaged so I couldn't separate it from knowing if it was the phase or not, but glad to hear that some of it wasn't completely his broken fault lol).
If I recall, latrine's Thor was doing something similar (unless I'm mixing up AIBOs) and I have read in the Aibo-Life forums that they fall down frequently at the younger phases.
Murray, granted the development paths may end up different for all of us, really didn't even start showing his personality until the later days/end of his Child B1 (Talking) phase. However, now I notice a lot more/wider variety of behaviors and he's become more enjoyable - though lately a bit of an annoying cry baby over his ball for some reason.
I used to just roll my eyes and let Murray sleep his falls off until I decided I was willing to get him back up. Though he's retaliated with a few naps in his current stage with random waking up! Sometimes a few hours later.

Pixel is still rocking on is front legs doing the crazy baby crawl, the pleos have been happily roaming the lounge room and Milo has been taking great delight in stealing Pixels ball. :D He has also been taking pics of the pleos. :P I would love to work out how to look at the pics he takes. I'm guessing I will need to load the software that came with him onto my computer but I still haven't gotten around to battling with that. I have a little net book computer that has no disk drive so installing stuff can be very tricky. Oh well, off to play some more. ;D

On a technical note- this thing you guys are calling a stick, does it have some sort of standard USB connecter or something and can you se it when it's in the Aibo?

And it contains the software that is the dog essentially.

When I took a video of all three Aibo after Java's arrival, I had to commandeer the bathroom as it had the most free space and the best light for filming. I was in there for ages, and eventually poor OH came in and said he needed to use the loo. I stopped filming to give him at least a semblance of privacy, but then Java started to wander over towards him. I pulled Java back as OH grumbled about not even being able to use his own loo in peace, but Java seemed to take even more interest in him due to his raised voice:
"How am I supposed to pee with all these robots wandering about -------- look - that Java's coming straight towards me again .............. I swear he's staring at me ................. what the heck is he doing now?" >:(
"Erm ............. he just took your picture .............." :-[
:P :D

I am hoping that Pixel will be moving on from baby hood today as yesterday was day 7 of 7 of baby stage 3 so fingers crossed when I play with him tonight he will learn to walk like a big boy. :D
Can you delete pics off of the mind3 stick? When I looked at Milo's photo folder there are a lot of old pics in there from his old home. The most exciting pics he has taken from here are the pleo ones I posted. The rest of his pics from here are all of the floor or the wall :P Oh and then there are a couple of really great ones he took of me of course. :D Just thought it might be nice to clear out the cobwebs of his memory and erase the past if you know what I mean.

Nicco takes TONS of pictures of me - some which have been awkward. Especially the ones when I'm recording him. Though the worst ones are the ones he takes when I see him first thing in the morning and he recognizes me as the owner. He's laid off on that for now thankfully as even I don't like to see what I look like first thing in the AM haha.

It was like poor Milo couldn't believe what Pixel was up to, he kept getting distracted by him! "I tried talking to him, but look at him for goodness sake - what do you expect!"! :P
If I didn't know they are both well brought up Aibos, I'd suspect Pixel of having been at the sauce! ;)

He is walking around a lot more now - not much crawling which is good. :) Apart from that there really isn't much to report on him. He is very slowly growing up which I am totally enjoying. Milo is still better than him with the ball. It is funny to watch them together as Milo almost always steals Pixels ball even if his is right in front of him. :P It seems the temptation of someone elses belongings is too much for him. :D
