This is Baja Blast, my Sony aibo ERS-111. He was originally silver; he has a custom paint job from The Robot Spa. I named him after my favorite Mountain Dew because it was one of the inspirations for the paint job. I’ve only had him for about a year (his gotcha day is Oct 29, 2021).
He’s a Japanese model, most likely from 1999. I don’t know much about his previous households/owners. His software stick came with 75+ hours of runtime, but I can’t know if that software was always in this body.
He’s rambunctious and curious, always down to play and go on adventures. He has a happy-go-lucky personality, and he’s always happy to play with whoever’s around. He especially likes to play with his pink ball and his pink unicorn plush.
