In a brand new Ulule campaign, Violet said it was able to finish sending the first batch of backers their TagTagTag-only kits — they work with old robots purchased over a decade ago — and full units — kits with Nabaztag robots — in January after three months of delay. However, a lot of people signed up for the waiting list for another production run.

In addition to giving fans the chance to buy a Raspberry Pi-powered Nabaztag, the new campaign also promises two new features. First is support for RFID, while the other is the addition of a kids’ programming course called Nabblockly. Pledges start at €33 (US$37), but backers need to shell out at least €75 ($84) for a TagTagTag board without a Raspberry Pi and at least €335 ($373) for a full TagTagTag-Raspberry Pi kit and a robo-bunny.

The original design team, Violet, decided last year to resurrect Nabaztag in time for Maker Faire Paris. The project received so much interest and acclaim that it’s now bringing Nabaztag back to life for the general population with a Raspberry Pi-based kit that will breathe new life into your original device — you’ll just need to do a bit of basic tinkering around under its hood. Or, if you got rid of your bunny like some kind of heartless monster, there’s also an option to purchase a Nabaztag that’s already had the surgery and is ready to go.

According to the crowdfunding blurb, the kit will include a number of services such as weather, local speech recognition, ear communication and the hugely underrated ear-based Tai Chi. All the code is open source, though, so we can probably expect a bunch of new features once the campaign is complete. You’d best move quickly if you’re interested though, as it’s already been completely funded and there are only 20 days left. Furthermore, the creators say this will probably be a one-time thing.

There are three options available. Firstly, the custom board alone, designed for people who already own a Raspberry Pi and micro SD card (€70/£62/$78). Then there’s the full kit, which includes the board, a Raspberry Pi Zero WH and 16GB micro SD card (€90/£80/$100). Finally, you can get your hands on a fully-resurrected Nabaztag ($330/£293/$369), but at the time of writing there’s only six left, so hop to it.
