found this WowWee Roboraptor at a thrift store. There were actually two of them on the shelf. According to the sticker it came from RadioShack.

Something had really gnawed one of the claws and there was green paint, and it was full of dust, so I took the whole thing apart and cleaned it thoroughly. The design is pretty cool.

There are too many things for me to list. There's hidden buttons everywhere, and this board. I have never seen a toy PCB have trim pots in any decade. What is there to adjust? And a giant exposed copper diamond. And a blob chip, on a breakout board with labelled pins. Doesn't that cost more? This thing is mechanically and electronically complicated for a toy, and there seem to be a lot of corners uncut. Very interesting. Also there are so many different kinds of screw that you have to go to great lengths to keep them organized.

After cleaning it I made an attempt at retrobrighting the plastic. It may have done something. I 3D modeled and printed a new claw, and put it on the arm. I might paint it later. There was also a broken spring anchor that I fixed.

Now there is an app to control this guy. But it relies on specific hardware and an older Android version. I found this on GitHub

Which contains raw IR data for the basic direction controls, and later they figure out how to decode all the signals. I tried transmitting with one of my ESP8266s, but had no luck. However, I found I could transmit the raw signals with a Flipper Zero through the CLI, and I put them in an IR remote file. Now I have a controller for it, though I can't control the moods or anything.

I still wonder what's up with that PCB. With the chips so easily accessible, maybe I can do some hacking?

Tbh this is way more fun for me than if I just bought this toy new and it worked. Buying it damaged with no controller was like getting a free puzzle

Watch out for the duke!

Being locked all the time does no good to anyone, and it was the same for The Duke of Making a Mess. He was angry, he was confused, and he just wanted to help. Eventually, Huey finally understood, and has allowed him to roam in his mindspace, sometimes he even lets him out! He is very impulsive and puts 200% of his energy in everything, which tends to leave Huey exhausted, but it is never out of malice, he simply forgets that the body can't keep up with him.
