Sharper Image
Feline Frolic!
TK101
Reviewed by: Nicholas

Subject:
'Review of Feline Frolic! Remote-Controlled Cat Exerciser - TK101'

Message:
Well, I LOVE this thing! and this isn't like me but it is simply not for carpet.
In fact, with a long history of working for P.S. Technology, I was able to make mine carpet friendly,
however, I would have expected more from the high end stuff at the Sharper Image.

To Modify for carpet I required:
1- Two higher-end caps (one for each motor)
2- Two Lower # turn DC motors
3- One larger pinion gear (4 extra teeth)
4- Dremel or rotary tool (for gear meshing on main axle placement)

5- One Zip-tie
5-some soder and gun
5-extra time...


Pic #1 is the item after mods
#2 is a side-by-side motor comparison (notice the number on the small caps, on the sharper image motor it's a cap you would use on a battery powered fan from walgreens, and on my motor, still cheep, but rated for R/C quality stuff)
#3 is what their motor wear looked like after one week

PROS:
Cat loves it

CONS:
doesn't drive on carpet
