And Go Tinker

And Go Tinker

If it ain't broke, fix it! Sometimes I can fix it. Sometimes I just make it worse. Either way, it was fun to try.

    This did make me laugh. You literally had no idea what you was doing! All you had to do was clean the bottom filter. that's what the 3 flashing lights mean. it fixes this 99% of the time. its an awful design though having to pop off buttons to get inside. lol

    I still have my Flipbot as well as Dingbot, Crackbot and Dustbot. I suspect they may also not power on any longer. I've just had them sitting on my desk for years. Really fun toys Tomy made!

    Mine keeps failing the test when it’s plugged in. It will flash red for the test and click, and then keep doing that over and over. If I try to turn on the dryer the lights will flash on but then turn off. Do you know what could be the problem?

  • @AndGoTinker
    @AndGoTinker5 ай бұрын

    It's hard to say for sure, but the easiest thing to check is the filter at the base of the handle. It's really easy to remove and clean. I know that if that gets clogged it can cause over heating which can cause the issue that you are describing.

    My dayso dray hair don't work it's new but it have worked for just 10 minut and it stopped suddenly and the two red light stat to flashing can you please give me an advice

  • @AndGoTinker
    @AndGoTinker7 ай бұрын

    I believe that the flashing lights usually means that the filter needs to be cleaned. The filter is the part at the base of the handle and should be easy to get to. If that doesn't fix it, I would try to return it and get a different one since it's new and should not be faulty.

    That's super rad! How well is the Sharpe holding up on the plastic?

  • @AndGoTinker

    It's holding up fairly well actually! Better than I expected. It does spend most of its time on a shelf just on display though.

    After some thought and looking at other videos showing similar issues, I am fairly certain that the problem was simply that the motor had seized up and simply getting in there and manually moving it freed things up!

    Yeah it will probably cut off again. You need to clean the filter. Same issue was happening with me. Soak it 30 mins with soap and water and brush the filter clean

    This is the first time I've seen a Flipbot. Tomy made so many cool toys back in the day. Glad to see Flipbot is back to drunkenly tumbling around, nice work!

    I had heard of Tomy but didn't realize how many cool things they made back then. Toys and games from the 80's are some of my favorite in general. ...Nostalgia.

    My dad had one of these when I was a kid in the early 90s, and it was my favorite thing to just watch him eat coins. I recently purchased one at a flea market and sadly my Robbie is no longer eating coins as well. Seeing yours do its little happy dance makes me want to finally get around to fixing him!
