Switch the robot off, unplug the cable and switch the robot on again. The robot will move
forwards. When it hears a hand-clap, it will spin to the right.
If the robot turns repeatedly even when you don't clap your hands then it is too sensitive to
sound. It is reacting to the rumble of its own wheels. Adjust the Sound Level potentiometer so that
it is less sensitive.
The robot doesn't react to a hand-clap immediately. It waits until the end of the current "Forward"
instruction before testing for a short sound. You will learn how to change this behaviour in a later
Activity.
The Spin Right instruction executes for the "Motor Delay Time". The motor is turned on, the robot
waits for the "Motor Delay Time" then the motor is turned off. The length of the "Motor Delay
Time" can be adjusted.
Switch the robot off plug the cable in and switch the robot on again.

Click and drag the mouse over the Delay Time panel to adjust the "Motor Delay Time". Select a
new value, download the program into the robot and run the program again.
Switch the robot off plug the cable in and switch the robot on again. You are ready for Activity 6.
