Hi, it's nice to find some familiar names around here! I guess pleoworld froums are pretty much gone forever (since they haven't even posted an update/info on their front page), let's just hope Ugobe is still around... But I've pretty much given up hope on a firmware upgrade, oh well. It's still a bit of robotic history
and Dino will even get a chance of wandering around a bit not that I found a Li-Poly battery & charger for him.
But looking on the bright side (sort of): my Dino's skin has started to melt, and the local seller can't get an answer from the importer as to what to do about it... So I guess I'll have a good excuse for skinning Dino, hehe... Fortunately I found a website that has detailed step by step instructions on how to completely remove the skin pretty much intact, it shows the attachment points etc. So maybe there's a chance to make a replacement skin from the pattern...
The website's here (there are some interesting looking hacks there, upgrading camera, installing wifi etc - Standard Disclaimer: No affiliation, and I have not tried it *yet*)
