Disney Ubtech Stormtrooper Robot Stopped Working? Part 1 Use The Bits To...


All Disney Ubtech Stormtrooper Robot Stopped Working? Part 1 - @fixed1t will Use The Bits To Make Another One. I've discovered that my expensive Disney Ubtech Stormtrooper Robot has stopped working as it can no longer login to its hard coded server address (as it's been turned off and effectively trashed by Ubtech). As these robots Must speak to the server to work they've all effectively been junked, and nobody should purchase one even if described as NEW or App Controlled. So being fixed1t I'm not going to leave all that technology to gather dust or become shelf ware or land fill, instead its been torn to bits by me so that in future videos I can replace the motherboard to make a new App controlled and fully programmable Stormtrooper that works much better than the original. Sadly I didn't video the teardown as it took a very long time but If I obtain another cheap, I will do a teardown video. In part 2 I plan to replace the motherboard an wire it up, so don't forget to subscribe. If this video helps you can buy @fixed1t a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fixed1tfix4. Thx. Thanks Malcolm aka @fixed1t

AI Humanoid Robot Comedian NAO Poppy Telling Jokes Part 1

 

This is my  @FIXED1T  AI Humanoid Robot NAO Poppy playing at being a comedian and telling me a couple of jokes, this is part 1 and there will hopefully be many more. I've also decided to to allow subscribers to leave jokes in the video comments which they would like NAO to perform so that they can show family and friends video of an AI Robot telling their jokes. Please don't send any copyright material, I don't want people making demands for royalties or having to remove the video due to claims just for NAO telling a joke LOL But NAO will give the sender a shout out before he does the joke to say who sent it in and thanks at the end of the jokes. This is supposed to be light fun, so keep it clean, unoffensive and hopefully funny ;-) Malcolm aka  @FIXED1T  Manager NAO Poppy Robot Comedian LOL

How To Teardown A Cubee Robot Speaker For Servo Repairs - Part 6 I Need ...


After my Cubee Robot Bluetooth Speaker took a fatal dive at the floor, I am determined to fix my Cubee problems I found in Part 1. In Part 2 I tore down Cubee and I Identified that the right leg and hip servos were broken and needed to be replaced. In this Part 3, I replaced the Cubee right ankle servo, what I imagined would be a simple task of extracting the broken servo and swapping in a replacement took far longer and was more difficult than than I expected. In part 4 I replaced the right hip servo which was indeed damaged. In Part 5 - Houston We Have A Problem - caused by my not turning off the power after a final test In this Part 6 - I discover that the other left leg servo is trashed, and realise that it would be better to replace all 4 servos and to make all of them much more secure than in the original videos as slippage can cause damage if the servo is facing in the wrong direction when it activates. So I needed to find and test two more servos to replace the broken Left Leg and the flaky only left hip, given that three other servos had died In Part 7 - I improve the servo insertion process on the ankles and hips by re-inventing the servos fastening mechanisms led to the Part 5 damage. I always advise people to watch the entire video series if they wish to copy (at their own risk) what I have done, but in this case its crucial you do or I can almost guarantee you will make the same mistakes I did, or worse and as I have the tools and resources to correct things you may be left with a Cubee you broke. Simple Don't skip through this video series if you have a Cubee. Please don't forget to give a Thumbs Up, Share and most importantly Subscribe to this fixed1t channel by clicking the subscribe button to be informed about Part 6 - Where a rethink is on the cards and a realisation that this quick and easy servo exchange repair job needs a more methodical and sturdy rebuild on all of its servos.

ASMR Unboxing New Reach Robotics Mekamon Augmented Reality Robot

This is a detailed Unboxing of a brand new Reach Robotics Mekamon Augmented Reality Robot. Reach was an award winning company which sadly ceased trading in 2020 after winning awards in 2017 and 2019, which is sadly a common fate of many high technology startups. There are a number of these old stock Robots available on eBay and other platforms at crazy low prices, however sadly they are powered by Lithium Polymer or LiPO batteries many of which has discharged since manufacturer. LiPO batteries are prone to overheating if charged from a heavily discharged state, so they have protective circuits in the battery control charging systems that prevent the battery from recharging, without specialist work to bring them to the low edge of life. This is a great unboxing as the quality of the materials used and therefore the sound of the box opening and unpacking make this an excellent ASMR video. I will be making a part 2 video once I have rescued and charged the Mekamon Battery show its amazing functionality and possibly many more videos afterwards. It will certainly be a star in #robotsintheshower at some stage. Malcolm aka  @FIXED1T  #Unboxing #ASMR #fixed1tROBOTrepairs #fixed1tAIrobots #toyREPAIRshed #fixed1t

#fixed1t Robots In The Shower Part 1 - Dancing WowWee femisapien

As not everyone has TikTok here is the youtube version of my popular Robots In The Shower series.

#fixed1t Robots In The Shower Part 1 - Dancing WowWee femisapien

I'm in the process of making a nice safe area for my robots to display their skills in, and whilst sat contemplating the universe I glanced at the light in our lovely loft conversion shower cubicle and its perfect. Flat smooth surface, white with excellent lighting and great acoustics. So here is the first of many of my Repaired and Fixed UP Robots strutting their stuff in my dry shower. Aptly called #fixed1t Robots In The Shower LOL.

Whats amazing is how they have manage to install some catwalk style (I was going to say feminine charm but thought I'd get slaughtered) into this rare gender specific female robot, for those who remember Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet I think you will see the similarity. The femisapien is very much one of a kind so I'll be doing some more videos with her.

Second Sony AIBO 210 From South Korea Has Neck Damaged In Transit

I'm having real difficulties getting a working Sony AIBO delivered without it being damaged by the shipping company,  the first ERS-210 I bought had a broken neck and various other problems, this one was working when the seller made his YouTube Video, but broken by the time it arrived at my home.



I need to develop the knowledge to fix these ASAP as there are very few people who do it and nobody in the UK.  If you previously repaired these and live in the UK I love to speak with you.

Regards Malcolm (aka fixed1t)

My Sony AIBO 210 Neck And Head Repair Update One

I've been informed by #wolfbob that my AIBO 210 Neck and Head fix has been successfully completed and that the AIBII named 'Bo' should soon be reunited with his headless body.

It looks pretty sick without its head:

Sony AIBO 210 With Head Removed With Body Front Facing
Sony AIBO 210 With Head Removed In Side On View
 but hopefully it will all work once its all connected up.

This is one fix I would have loved to do myself, but as I had no spare or other parts available I took the wise decision and send it to somebody who has.

What Is AIBO Life? It Allows You To Raise An AIBO

AIBO Life is what gives the AIBO Robot Dog its winning independent personality.  AIBO's were shipped as new with AIBO Life on a Memory stick.

Picture Of AIBO Life Quick Guide - Download Link Further Down The Page
SONY Describes It As:

What is AIBO Life?
By itself, AIBO is capable of only the most basic movements. For more complicated operations, AIBO must be loaded with a AIBO-ware program that comes on a “Memory Stick.” AIBO Life is AIBO-ware that allows you to raise AIBO. With the learning ability that AIBO Life provides, AIBO can adapt to you and its environment. In short, AIBO learns to live according to your expectations. This is how AIBO matures, and it is AIBO Life that makes it possible.
Raising AIBO
A number of simple principles lie behind the raising of AIBO. Once you know these principles, you will be able to raise AIBO into the kind of companion that is right for you.  As AIBO lives with you, it will learn to reflect your Lifestyle.

Qu’est-ce qu’AIBO Life ?
AIBO lui-même ne peut qu’effectuer des mouvements de base. Pour des opérations plus complexes, il doit être équipé d’un programme AIBO-ware disponible sur un “Memory Stick”. AIBO Life est l’AIBO-ware qui vous permet d’éduquer AIBO. Grâce à sa capacité d’apprentissage fournie par AIBO Life, AIBO peut s’adapter à vous et à son environnement. En bref, AIBO apprend à vivre selon vos attentes. C’est ainsi qu’il acquière de la maturité, et ce, grâce à AIBO Life.
Eduquer AIBO
L’éducation d’AIBO se base sur quelques principes simples. Lorsque vous connaissez ces principes, vous pouvez éduquer AIBO et en faire le compagnon idéal grâce à son interaction avec vous.
AIBO partage votre vie et s’adapte de lui-même à votre style de vie.

Was ist AIBO Life?
AIBO selbst kann nur die einfachsten Grundbewegungen ausführen. Für komplexere Bewegungsabläufe müssen Sie AIBO mit AIBO-Ware versorgen, die auf einem “Memory Stick” zur Verfügung steht. Mit der AIBO-Ware “AIBO Life” können Sie Ihren AIBO erziehen.

Mithilfe der Lernfunktionen von AIBO Life kann sich AIBO an Sie und Ihr Umfeld anpassen. Das heißt, AIBO kann lernen, sich so zu verhalten, wie Sie das möchten. Auf diese Weise wird AIBO erwachsen und AIBO Life stellt ihm die nötigen Fähigkeiten dafür zur Verfügung.
AIBOs Entwicklung
Eine Reihe einfacher Prinzipien bilden die Grundlagen für AIBOs Entwicklung. Wenn Sie diese Grundlagen kennen, können Sie AIBO zu genau dem Gefährten erziehen, den Sie sich wünschen. Da AIBO das Alltagsleben mit Ihnen teilt, wird er lernen, sich an Ihren Lebensstil anzupassen.

Fantastic Caricature Picture Of fixed1t

This is the fantastic caricature picture drawn by my previous Secretary Lesley Birch's husband John Birch for my 50th Birthday.  They were great times and it was a lovely gesture as it brought together my hobbies of sailing and singer song writing along with my wickedly sarcastic outlook on life.




Thanks John and Lesley.
