If ever there was a quality post.....

For those of u who think more items are to come...according to wooters.us and wootalyzer these will last past midnite CST. They must have tons of these. This is the end indeed.

In for three sets. Hoping to swap out the reds and blues to rig up some mini hockey goal lights. The amber ones just don't work the same...

Now, Now - it's not America any more, after last Sunday!

At about 5Pm eastern today, random gristle was offered. 50,000 people want one of 2,000 bags that woot fills up with.. well... c r a p.. But sometimes.. most of the time, it's worth more than the $8 you pay.. Some people have gotten flat screen TVs, home theaters and other pricey goodies.. Others? Broken toilet seats or caseloads of Brothers in Arms action figures.. The fun is in the chase, not so much the score..

Monkeys: woot offers these cute little monkeys with varying colored capes and caps, with the woot! logo on them. Most people collect them: I do... They fly like a slingshot and scream like a sonofabitch.. Fun.. asinine... Like most of us. So, there's the quick rundown... go to wikipedia and look up woot, and ALL your questions will be answered there..

Welcome to the club.

Aww thanks! nicest thing anyone has done for me all day, lol.

This reminded me that I have the yellow ones in my closet. Sure to annoy the cat, but turnabout is fair play.

i couldn't resist. >.>

Then you can go.

First person to rig 'em up to a solar fan hat wins a snickers*.

I'm waiting for the USB Taser.

Dude, that is awesome. I am going to mount mine on my roomba. If they are flashing red and blue, will my roomba clean faster?

What's the story about the monkey and crepes? Inisght please...

You can find several movies of woot flying monkeys on youtube... if others are sleeping at your house, turn the volume down. The monkeys make a.... "unique", annoying and mournful cry as they fly superman style.

Also, LOTS of videos of wooters opening their bags-o-carp... search youtube and let the hours drift by.... like a hobo on a train lets the towns drift slowly by.

might as well go live in europe where it is legal to drink 2 beers at lunch and public urination is not a misdemeanor.

crumbs....wooters is estimating 1 hour 30 minutes!! DANG!!! No monkeys probably!!! shuckeyducks.....

these are awesome! buy em up!

In for one, why not. It'll go good with the monkey I got a couple Woot offs ago.

I like turtles!

Watching The Films? No…seriously; we’ve been watching a flick while WOOT-ing thru the end. Any HFRO buffs out there who really did want to see Montana? Me, too! In for 3 of these……but realllllly wanted to end it tonight with a differently-caped GIANT monkey……sigh……..

While we're all sitting around here, watching these wee lights kill our Woot-off, could someone please explain the "quality post" thing to me? What is the definition of a quality post? Do the little men behind the curtain at Woot go over every post, and at some point label the "quality" ones according to their mysterious rules? What's up with all that? I'm totally curious.

Slower, actually...It'll be pulling over all the other Roombas, unless you live next to a doughnut shop.

As much as I want a working pair of these, for as crappy as my last set was (gouged plastic, bad motors, looked like they'd been dragged across a warehouse floor before being shipped here), there's no way I will buy another pair of these. The last ones - even the replacements I was sent - went in the garbage. Sorry, Woot. Not again.

I'd get these if I were a compulsive hoarder.

Quality post!

I don't think you're even trying now.

Beware: you need 5v. Roomba's mostly operate at 13+v. I wired one of those cigarette lighter to USB devices in between the lights and the Roomba battery. If you don't, the lights blow right away. Motors run really fast, which is good for a laugh....

Does your car have a USB connection?

cinoclav wrote:Gee, thanks for that Mr. Wizard. The whole frickin purpose of those car adaptors is that they have the same output as your computer's USB ports.

Hey now, no need for sarcasm.
You are mostly correct. 500mA at 5V should be sufficient for most things that run off USB. The data spec calls for that as a maximum. Really, I don't see these lights pulling half an amp. They are just really...wimpy. I suppose it's possible, but more likely he had defective lights.

However, USB ports on a computer are capable of providing significantly more amperage. The USB battery charging specification provides for up to 1.5 amps, which most USB 2.0 connectors are rated at. And heck, if you have a powered USB port (my laptop does) it can deliver up to 6A of current!

So, no -- those dinky car adapters are not the same. They are mostly a gimmick, and convenient for piddly stuff like charging a bluetooth headset while you are on the road.

Quality posts are indeed those that have been selected by the Woot staff. A Wooter with more than 10 quality posts is often referred to as an "up-sucking, Woot-kissing toady," and...

Oops. Never mind.

Solid use. If you need any help with rigging up the lights without a computer, ask GuardianBob. apparently he's the super nerd of woot-off lights.

I don't know if it mentions this on wikipedia, but the reason people are talking about crepes or other random words/phrases is due to a word filter on posts. There's a list out there somewhere, but the woot gods update them periodically.

Finally, I have a way to prove to that girl, I am a cop... if I run my lights in my house, maybe she will move faster... Woot can you sell a USB siren?
