Takahashi's design (robo-garage.com), Kondo servos and controller, and kit production by RC company Kyosho brought to life PF01.

Switch from AT01 to PF01

I am a owner of Manoi AT01, KHR-2HV and Robonova I. I found that setting up home position of AT01 was most critical and the motion of AT01 was most unstable among the three robots. So, I decided to switch from AT01 to PF01.

Yesterday I bought a conversion kit from AT01 to PF01 from the robot shop RT in Akihabara, Japan.

The kit is the original one of the robot shop RT. KYOSHO is NOT selling such a kit although the company sells every part one by one. The conversion kit contains all the parts of PF01 kit except RCB3, servos, gyros, manual and CD.

Yes. Ask them by e-mail at shop@rt-net.jp.
I found that this conversion kit does not include low height servo hones.

I assembled PF01 and I'm checking the default motion. PF01 is more stable than AT01 without gyro although its motion is slower because of its heavy weight.

Next week Kyosho will ship non-painted outer parts kit of PF01.

I ordered this kit. I am going to assemble PF01 with my favorite color.
