In this video, I tear down a defunct Robosapien V2, talk about why/how it broke (hint: MAJOR manufacturing defect), and go over the anatomy of the robot looking at the different parts that made it tick.
Stay tuned for part 2, where I go into more detail on the parts and inner workings of the Robosapien V2 robot...
Thanks for making this video! i’m actually a collector of these types of toys and never got a chance to see the inside of the head nor the mechanism for the fingers, funny story when i first got one it started smoking and shorting out, i would love to see what you did with the parts, maybe a part 2?
It probably shorted because the insulation on the wiring cracks off after a few years. Maybe I will do a part 2 ;-)
@@CircuitCrush Please make a part 2, i’ve actually wanted a part 2 for awhile now!
I remember these! Used to have the original Robosapien...
Me too!
I've got the full set in storage and I'm now dreading getting them out for a look see :( But would like to see more like this...
Thanks for the feedback! I'll see about making part 2 soon.
is part 2 out?
For sure I was curious about how these things worked. Seems a lot of these are more flashy outside than in. It's like a really updated Omnibot
I'm not familiar with the Omnibot. What is it?
@@CircuitCrush Omnibot was a 1980s Tomy product. One of thee first toy robots available to children that was programmable via cassette tape.

Well my family had him and my dad got him from a buddy at work but unfortunately he shorted out after we tested him and Dad was going to fix him until our cat knocked him down and broke him.
Maybe you can use the parts for something else!
@@CircuitCrush well we threw it all in the trash but I plan to get a red one.
Could you fix my v2 for me he works but not all of him works and I dont have a remot he is black and white and just really neat would love to have him working properly
I would still fix him he is worth alot and is worth working on you will need new plastic for it and it should be easy to rewire
Back in the day these were made, micro controllers were really expensive, companies would just use a diy in house microcontroller covered with black gunk. Today, you can find real micro controllers in lots of toys. If they made these today, they would have been way better designed.
Hello, do you know if there is a way to change the type of batteries you use in your feet? since it takes 10 batteries type D
I think the weight of the batteries gives it stability and also D batteries are better for higher current demand applications than C or AA batteries
I remember very well when I wanted Robosapien V2 for that Christmas! (2006) But i got the Roboraptor :P
Never got a chance to play with the Raptor. Did you not like it?
I mean I like it, but I wanted Robosapien V2 more than anything on that Christmas 2006.
Does it still work?
Not anymore. :[
You should try to fix it, may be a fun hack or project. I'd start by looking at the insulation on the wires LOL
i have V1 V! mini and a dino one
Other than the wires There's probably some good in there that can be used!
Absolutely!
I still have mine and I want to do some troubleshooting before I open it up to figure out why it is not working. I would like to connect it to a DC adaptor so that I don't need to worry about the batteries, do you guys have any idea how to determine how many amps/volts this thing would need to switch on?
Just take a look at the batteries it would take and you can get a good idea. Probably faulty insulation like mine lol
bro what should i do when i star it stuck half way from waking up it was full of dust i didnt clean the circuit board in the inside is this beacause for the dst in inside if so then what should i clean it with the circuit board i meant
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but you can blow the dust off with canned air or perhaps yours has the same issue mine did and it shorted. This is really a cheap, China made toy, so I'm not surprised the insulation on the wires would fall off.
If you still have the parts like the board? Could I buy it from you, I repair these robots for everyone!
I still have them but I plan on taking a closer look at them and possibly experimenting with them or using them in something else so sorry they're not for sale.
1st and 2nd gens have that wiring issue and the 3rd gen white or the pearl whites dont yellow but the really early models will get really brittle due to the plastic they used, still a fun robot but not made the best
Would you still happen to have that remote I’ve been looking for one
I might. What would you do with it?
@@CircuitCrush I own one of these and sadly it does not have a remote
Hey so I doubt you’ll answer but if you still have the remote i would buy it off of you because I’m actually getting one of these robots without the remote. How much would the price be if you were selling one?
Sorry, it's gone :-(
this things only flaw is the fact it was cheaply made.
Yep, as we see in the video.
