The Chronicles of Narco - Jan 2 2008 - Pleo Pickup and Two Tricks

For Narco's 13th battery charge, he was subjected to a messy floor.
This was the setup for the first 'official' Pleo Pickup experiment - I had a bunch of small items on the floor for Narco to examine and pick up, if he so chose to.
The results? Unfortunately very similar to previous results when depending on object recognition.

Here is the video of Pleo Pickup, in YouTube playlist format:


We also perform a couple tricks for you in this post!

First: The Pleo TA-DA! trick, as read from a post on the Pleoworld.com forums.


Second: Howling Pleo, also from the Pleoworld.com forums. The post(s) there didn't seem to have a consistent way to do this trick, but I figured one out.


Please note - so far, all of the "Pleo Tricks" have required that Pleo be pretty inactive. What that means is that Pleo will NOT do the tricks while walking, grazing, or while in the middle of any other sequence of actions. You'll get a good idea of what this all means when you start trying these out for yourself.

Lastly, there are post(s) on Pleoworld.com regarding 'eyelid wear' issues now, with a few people asking for pictures. Here is one of Narco's eyelid wear on one eye:





The forum moderators at Pleoworld.com have stated that UGOBE is looking into a solution for this. They came up with a solution to the teeth wear pretty quickly, so I'm hoping for the best here, too!

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave any comments/suggestions!
