Do the games work? Somebody said something about the ball being magnetized and that it will stick to the battery. Is that true?

Yes they work but dont expect too much, the ball goes down really fast. About the magnetized never heard and never notice any ball sticking to the battery. Hope I help you.

I've had this case since Octoberish and I haven't had any problem with the ball. I use the case off and on but used it for a solid 2 months without a problem.

The games work fine. Ball is not at all magnetic. Will separate from case if you take it on and off of your phone a lot

The first day I got mine it worked fine (besides that I think the controls are a little wonky). I plugged it into my PC as a USB mass storage and loaded a bunch of songs for my kids. They played with it for an hour or two and it was doing great. The next day, mine did something similar; it would turn on and only say "loading". So then I turned it off and connected it to my computer and it also wouldn't be recognized as a USB mass storage now. I changed the batteries about 4 times and still no luck. I ended up returning it.As far as syncing, it seems to use USB mass storage to load songs (using windows explorer). That part worked fine when it worked...

we're currently using recharbeables in our sets. They seem to work well, I haven't had to replace yet (just been playing a couple of times). Actually, I did have to replace almost right away - it turns out two of the 6 were not fully charged. The gun would still tag/receive tags, but the special effects were all off and the voice/sound effects were V...E...R...Y.......S...L...O...W... but it was a good warning, and at least I could finish that game effectively. If that's what we have to look forward to, I'm pretty happy with how the tagger handles low battery.

Chris, I own 3 Robomops. The ball is charged by the adapter that comes with it, eventually it stops holding the full charge and you can't buy just a new ball for the unit( at least not that I know of). That's why I have 3 of them. I just bought it again to get the new ball. The unit isn't to bad at picking up dust on the floors( it won't pick up crumbs) but I liked the results of heavy dust pickup on hard floors(laminate,tile etc. It's worth a try at least once.

The ball takes four AG13 batteries. I bought 100 of them on Ebay for about $10.00

yes they work. i would recommend buying the amazon rechargeable batteries and not some generic radio shack type of batteries. i only say that because i actually own rechargeable batteries from radio shack and they lasted about 20 minutes running a game. angrily, i went and ordered the amazon rechargeable batteries (white, AAA, made in japan) and i haven't charged them in about 3 hours of playing time. buy these: AmazonBasics AAA Rechargeable Batteries (8-Pack) Pre-charged

Have had a problem with mine so checked batteries and reinstalled them. I noticed the directional arrow inside the battery pack was pointed the wrong way. The base of the battery, or negative end, should go against the spring. The arrows point to the opposite direction and it won't work this way. Now mine is working. I'm not sure yet if I have another problem not related to the batteries.

The one I bought for my daughter worked great, but when the batteries get low it isn't as strong and the balls only hover.

I haven't used mine for about a month and just tried it and the batteries work fine, just rewound the tape. Played it and it works great!

what I seemed to find was it took "watch" size batteries BUT I had a heck of a time finding them and getting them out of the ball I found it was cheaper to buy the pack of 2 light up replacement balls it was a lot easier too I had ordered the replacement balls and to be honest by the time I got the batteries out the replacements had arrived so I just kept the old ball and they play with it as well. They do love the toy though I'm going to be adding on.

Mine seems to work fine. Do not have all games unlocked. I will double check.

I haven't come across so far that don't work. I've loaded all the usual games (solitaire, candy crush, etc...) and they seem to be working OK.

But it does. It's a great game with many different activities. If it doesn't work send it back

Yes - from the Android store. I found no problems with games or any other programs. It is used a lot and still working great, also! My gripe would include the lack of Bluetooth and the charging cable being a proprietary plug instead of a generic USB.

I just tried mine, and it worked fine. Be sure that the button end of each battery is against the flat contact, not the spring contact, and that they are in securely. Spin them in their slot. That fixes a lot of problems. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, trying to fix a toy we had found. I put new batteries in, to no avail. I took the entire electronics apart, even soldering on jumpers to bypass the circuit board. Nothing. Finally, I put a meter on the output of the battery box. No output!. I spun the batteries in their seats, and Voila! Also, the button end of the battery holder goes in first. Be sure the button contact on the battery holder springs back when you push it in. That's really all that can go wrong with it. Good luck!

Try brand new batteries in each receiver and put try to sync using the receiver in USB port 1. For some reason mine wouldn't work if I put it in the lower one. Try port 1 first then port 2 and if that doesn't work the receiver (or sensors) may be defective. If that's the case try to pick up the NFL one cheap and use the gear in there for both games. They will work with both / either game but don't move the receiver at all once it's synced.
