I don't have a charger, or battery, and don't know whether it even works at all. I suspect it is at least a little bit broken - plastic gears seem to be its weak point.

Published videos of them in operation aren't very inspiring, if I were to replace the electronics in this beast I would be aiming to create something that could walk around the house on its own, doing doggy sorts of investigations and interacting with things. Probably a big project!
