It pretty much always "hangs up" the first time you try to start it after it has been off for any significant length of time. Unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, and replugging it in seem to work so far every time. After is is up an talking then things seem to be fine. It just doens't want to start talking. Once it is up and talking you can cycle the main breaker off and if you turn it back on reasonably quickly (seconds not minutes) it will connect without a problem. Basically if the robot has been off for more than a minute or so you have to unplug the power cable from the game adapter, wait ~15 seconds, then replug it up to get it to start talking again.

It is configured per the instructions as far as I know. How could we configure it improperly and it work after we unplug, wait 15 seconds, and then replug? I'll be happy to check, just don't know what to check for. Could you be more specific?

I'll head to Best Buy and get another one as soon as I can this week and hopefully that will solve the problem.
