Well this comming weekend, their is a big toy fair in NEW YORK, where Robosapien V2, Mark Tilden and all his other new creations will be presenting their new toys to consumers like us. :-D can't wait for more pictures and videos to come out.
Take alook at the detailed picture of RS V2 Hand I have aquired... he has Finger Nails (lol) and also these 'bars on the inside palms of his hand. I bet those are spring loaded so it gives him a better grip of grabbing objects, or a possible sensor to recognize if he has picked something up or not..
RSV2 will sell for 200$UK and should be out November/December 2005
other Wow Wee robots will be out after July 2005, followed by the release of Robotraptor(see pic below) in August/September.
PRE ORD NOW @ Robosapien.NL
- Visual Studio.NET 2003 Compact Framework - Program for Pocket PC made my me to Control RS ( better functions then Remote Program on PPC) should be finished this withing the week for version 1, using the sound jack 7infrared led device..
- Sound Jack to 7 Infrared LED - so i can create IR sounds and play them and rs will do his movements, either by PC or by PPC (must apply to program, button click play sound file) finished within the week hopefully
- motor gear ratio modification - which i just read on solarbotics website.. its suppose to change the RPM by more then 200% + I will try this hopefully within the next 2 weeks

(optional tinfoil around ppc when rs is outside)
- Wireless Camera attached to RS Head(head pannin)
- Battery 9V attached to back of RS PPC
- RS Mirage Paint Color Modification (done on my other RS)
I dont think he'll be able to feed me my food though with a spoon :-( lol
This is the program I have made using Visual Studio.NET (compact Framework)
it does not send IR commands with the IR on the PPC or Dongle4PC it send IR Signals Via: the Linout OUT Speaker Jack that converts to Infrared... (see below for Picture) if anyone would like to design it to send IR, the source will be on my group board.
there is also other menus such as:
AVOID OBASTACLE - you click the box where the obstacle is infront of him and he tries to avoid it... took me some time, but i have it functioning, just need to make the wav files that send the IR signals... that should be done this week.. sometime...
MACROS - for programming your RS LEFT RIGHT SONIC AND MASTER PROGRAMS, so RS SECRETS are a CLICK to use :-)
and all his other commands.
along with a few manual pick up spots so you dont have to attempt to do them on your ppc
This is my RS
with a MIRAGE
paint Mod
it changes color in the sunlight angle...
purple/red/
yellow is the colors it shows the most
New picture updates of my Pocket PC and soon to be in depth view of configuring the remote control to the Vite Remote program so you can create your own long macros or own step guide menu so he is designed to walk all different
