For the encoders in the body, I was unable to find an easy way to get to them, so I cut the end off of the wire. Ours had 4 leads, if you have the same type you can put electrical tape over the other two so that they do not spark inside of the body. This clip was difficult to remove and I ended up marring the face a bit with a screwdriver and wire snips. Try to not look your pony in the eyes when you do this, as you may start feeling bad about what you are doing.

If the user pats the hindquarter touch sensors while sitting on the toy, it enters "Riding Mode" and makes walking sounds while moving its head back and forth. If something was not clear feel free to ask a question and I will try to clear it up or update the instructable.

The information provided here is as complete and accurate as possible; however, product names, colours and/or materials are subject to change without notice. My fellow LVL1 Hackers and I had taken control of the motor control system of the toy and added a flame thrower to it.

This new toy features white fur with rainbow stripes, blue eyes with purple eyelashes, purple ears with pink insides, a deep purple muzzle, lavender hooves, and a pink mane and tail end.

I could not see any clips I could open, or anything else I could remove to release it, so I did the next best thing and dremeled a hole in the stomach. This adorable pony stands over three feet tall, and really "comes alive" as she moves and responds to your loving care!
