Roto Robot Repair

[chilli]

Buy some cheap animal toys, non working and take apart slowly so you can learn how the tabs work. Fix up a remote with the wires bare ( or clips), add a bulb in if you like , then test various bits of the workings with a bit of battery power. That way you can see if the motor works an which wire are loose etc.

You can always save all the bits, such a s eyes and remotes. New robots are not made the same so not much point. The roto was a quite late on but because it is delicate leave it a year so you can know what you are doing.

( this is only my take on things, we all learn our own way)

Just in case anyone is new and is still finding their way round robots etc can I just suggest that you buy cheap pound shop batteries.Not Duracell type high power ones, as these are slightly physically bigger and cause the doors of Horikawas to gape open. For a Dux they are ok but for all else go for the less power versions, you dont need to run an old robot for long anyhow

cheers
