Just got my Roboraptor the other day....pretty cool design....so far have had a lot of fun terrorizing my dog with it..lol Main complaint is the speaker...it needs to be beefed up a bit. Amplification is poor...other than that its a home run.
Ive been hacking the raptor for a while now, with several mods to the head body and tail. The roar is easy to make alittle louder, if you look into the mouth you will see a perferated plate. this is the speaker grill , you need to open up the head and take out this plate , drill the center out, and it will help a little towards amping it up. If you open up the body the audio is controled by the single transistor on the front of the board. If you look at the pin out names you will see where the speaker goes, hack a small amp from an elec store into these pins , attach the speaker to the amp and louder sound. hope this helps. my new site is at sprockets slog and some of the raptor hacks are here.

if you have robosapian v2, put it with roborapter and do the interaction. its funny. too bad it cant do that with roboreptile.
the gyrobot is a new BEAM robot that was created by, you guessed it, ME! the gyrobot 01 is sound activated and battery powered. it vagely resembles a symet but is bigger than the average symet. when it is turned on and you clap, or make another sound that is detected by the sound sensor, the robot spins or gyrates like crazy.
