Check out our
Hack-A-Toy page
for instructions on how to do your own Robosapien hack. |
This is my first attempt at hacking a Robosapien. It works really well and is now able
to navigate a tabletop without falling off or hitting anything. He was a big hit at the Franklin Institute
in Philadelphia during the lego show in December 2004.
All you need to do this hack is a Robodyssey Advanced Mother Board, BX-24 Chip, Sharp sensors,
adjustable brackets, 9v Battery Clip,switch, and some misc. hardware. We plan on offering a "Hack-A-Toy" kit
shortly.
The kit is here!
Now go do your own Robosapien Hack.

works pretty well, the two on the feet are just icing on the cake! |

as if nothing ever happened to it. |
