Oh man, this is going to be the longest day ever.

The FedEx guy dropped off my Pleo as I was walking out the door to work so it’s just sitting there until I get home.

ARGHHH.

Yeah, it seems like there are accelerometers, but lacks the dexterity to get upright (understandable for the cost).

Pleo knows when he’s not standing upright, but actually, his joints just don’t bend in all those crazy directions.

We will be posting a joint diagram later this week for those of you creative programmers who want to get involved in writing modifications like this in the future.

I take it the placing of the robot on it’s side and it not standing up means no accelerometers?

No wonder they have gone instinct… at these prices, who can afford them! ;-)
