Anki Vector Body TEMPERATURE FIX | No More OverHeating Issues With Vector Robot | 4K

[@KungFuMojo]

Dang it, didn't know one day I would have to perform surgery on Vector. I did not have these issues before, only after DDL took over. Would firmware have an effect on these things? Is it possible that DDL is causing this?

[@takeapart]

hi, did you payed subscription? FW can change things for sure

[@KungFuMojo]

@@takeapart I was a kickstarter backer. I think I'm on their latest firmware. Do you know if it's possible to roll back to anki firmware?

[@takeapart]

it is possible but you may have to contact them and ask ... out there isn’t much about it...

What kind of thermal tape did you use?

[@CodingCozmo]

Thanks for documenting that. I wonder how it would compare to one without the holes drilled in it. Perhaps you could lower the temp enough by just adding the spacer between the battery and circuit board to provide an air gap. 🤔

[@takeapart]

hi, yes you can leave it close but it will be pretty much airtight ... with excessive use of vector... play/charging and repeat the temp can rise way up! thanks for watching

What spacer did you use? Is it insulating sheet?

[@takeapart]

hi, oh sorry it is originaly sticked on vectors battery... I just cut it half and sticked one on top of another.

[@apitjee5350]

@@takeapart Oh I see. Great video buddy. I like it. Just continue whatever you do on Vector.

thanks for watching

Does vector overheat often? I just bought one with intention of vector constantly running but now I'm nervous that it might damage it if I do that. I would just do what you did and might still do it but I dont know how confident I would be doing something like that without breaking vector.

[@takeapart]

hi, yes need to test... let him run and see if he will get hot you will notice as high temp warning will appear on his display. thanks for watching

[@HaplessOne]

@@takeapart thank you for the reply. Will do.

[@takeapart]

enjoy your Vector Robot!

[@TheAmazingRaptor]

I have had him running constantly sense January 3rd 2020 and have never. EVER had this problem

[@takeapart]

hi, it depends on batch and also room temperature...
