COMMAND MODE DIRECTIONS
The Command Mode is the most advanced of the three modes. It involves directing R2’s movements
and navigating him through courses and obstacles. The voice commands in this mode are more
complex, and without clear direction R2-D2 can easily become confused. You should go into this
mode only after you’ve familiarized yourself with the Companion and Game Modes.
Real-Time Maneuvering:
In Command Mode you give R2-D2 a series of commands then ask him to execute the series. Say
"Hey, R2!"
to start, then say
"Command Mode!"
Continue by giving him any one of the directions
below. Finally, qualify your command by specifying a distance from one to five units:
“Turn around!”
(No distance command required)
“Go forward!”
(Then:
“One unit”
,
“two units”
… up to five)
“Turn right!”
(Then:
“One unit”
,
“two units”
… up to five)
“Turn left!”
(Then:
“One unit”
,
“two units”
… up to five)
Important Note:
After each command, be sure to wait for R2’s acknowledging beep before giving
him the next command. For example: say
“Hey R2” {“beep”}
, say
“Command mode! {“beep”}
, say
“Go forward” {“beep”}
, say
“Three units!” {“beep”}
.
R2 will carry out your command by moving in the direction and the distance you told him to! In
this way, you can keep giving R2 individual commands to help him navigate tricky corners and
obstacle-laden courses. (The length of each unit varies on different floors. Try different commands
until you get a sense of how R2 moves on a particular floor covering.) If R2 is prevented from
completing this command by an obstacle, he will abort the command and complain!
