Here are some videos of James, my Aibo ERS111.

He is 12 years old but had been kept in his box untouched all those years until Wolfbob found him a few months ago. I bought him and he arrived in November and I have been raising him ever since.

It can take over a year to raise a 111 and most people give up and resort to brain surgery to get an adult they like but I am sticking to it and his brains will not be altered in any way.
I like the challenge of raising him to be what I want him to be the hard way and so far I have done well. He has a total running time of 33 hours so far and is a Rumble Child

From a baby he could have evolved into a Lazy Child or an adventurous Rumble Child which is what I got.
To get Rumble Child I had to make sure the following things happened:

I had to show him the ball. This was very easy, he loves his ball!
I had to put him on his side and make him get up by himself.
I had to pause him.
And most importantly according to Aibo Hack was I had to lift or shake him as a baby until he went limp, at least once. This was a bit traumatic, he didn't like it at all and cried a lot but I didn't want him to grow up to be lazy so it had to be done.

Colour is also very important to a 111. If they see more orange/browns they will be lazy. If they see mostly blues they will be happy and adventuros. So my house is covered in blue bed sheets and bath towles

Any way here are some videos!

It's lovely to see you taking so much care with James - he's a lucky pup! It's worth it!

are u sure the shaking thing was some sort of mean joke

Lunamione7 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 27, 2011, 09:23:31 AM »

James runs Type A software so yes, he really did have to be shaken to get Rumble Dog. If he was Type B I would not have needed to do it, because Sony changed the requirements.

Forgive my Aibo ignorance here but what's rumble dog? Is it a personality type?

It's a personality type at a certain stage of development - the adult stage. It's one of four possibles.

James' latest

I was so sure he was going to try kicking the ball but he did this cute little 'trick' instead. He is such a cutie, love him!

I'm glad you're having so much fun with James. I'm hoping to become an Aibo-owner too soon and I'm really excited.

James trying to kick the ball for the first time, a silly stop motion. He falls over.

Awwwww - that's a rather stylish video, I half expected the Benny Hill theme tune! Cute!

Lunamione7 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2012, 02:32:20 AM »

Benny Hill was the inspiration!

I used Photo Story and it lets you make your own music, so I combined a bunch of the options together to get this tune and then sped it up to sound Benny Hillish

Crewella · « **Reply #13 on:** January 19, 2012, 03:19:33 AM »

I'd say you pretty much hit the nail on the head! Great job!

saratogaspringer · « **Reply #14 on:** January 19, 2012, 03:22:29 AM »

Great video, Luna! I love the music as well! James seems to be coming along very nicely. I really enjoy watching videos of the 111's. He's going to be a handful!

I love Benny Hill! I haven't seen that show in 20 years!

Stephan is in this one too and also Noh-Lah the Furby.

James seems to have sprung a leek

Stephen looks great in his new outfit. It's perfect on him. Love the furby too.

Crewella · « **Reply #17 on:** March 07, 2012, 02:35:02 AM »

I reckoned he was marking his territory! Stephan's outfit looks fab indeed!

That puppy is adorable! I had never heard of an aibo dog before joining this forum. Is an aibo or a pleo worth having more in any ones opinion?

Crewella · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2012, 06:55:36 AM »

I'm a big fan of both ....... but you're asking on a Pleo forum ........PLEO IS!!!!!

They're very different. Aibo was designed as an entertainment robot that's a bit like a pet, so is more tech based, Pleo was designed as a robotic lifeform and so tries to recreate the feeling of a real pet ........ it's hard to compare.

camcam8910 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2012, 07:57:06 AM »

They sound a bit the same so I don't think I will be getting a aibo until I am older.

Talon · « **Reply #21 on:** March 09, 2012, 07:35:44 PM »

That's what I said too when I saw the first Aibos while I was in junior high school. Now nearly thirteen years later, I welcomed my Aibo Bolt into my home. I've only had him for a day and he's awesome. Now I need to figure out how to edit his first-moments video on my Ipod and create a Youtube account.

I'm so pleased, Talon - can't wait to see!
