Starting the
gyrobot:
Turn on the gyrobot by sliding the small switch.
Hold it level in the air by its head. The gyrobot
shouldn’t touch any surfaces or the tightrope yet!
Now, you must wait approximately 15 seconds for
the gyroscope inside the gyrobot’s head to pick
up speed. You can hear the motorized gyroscope
spinning faster and faster. When the gyroscope
has reached its maximum speed, you can carefully
place the gyrobot on the tightrope or a flat surface.
Always align the gyrobot’s head parallel to the
surface on which it is supposed to balance! Hold it
in this position and then release it carefully onto
the surface.
