Desk of Ladyada – PLEO Dinosaaaaaaauuur! #DeskOfLadyada
During our move, we found a PLEO dinosaur toy from 2006 – we’re going to try to get it up and running. But first, let’s check out whats in this l’il guy – the engineering of this guy was a labor of love and has some shortcomings but we think would still be a cute toy for our kiddo to try out.
One common complaint is the battery pack didn’t last very long: it only lasted about an hour before recharging. The pack we got with our PLEO is so old it doesn’t even charge up, so we will have to rebuild it.
