Remote controller directional pad
Remote controller directional pad
By default the remote controller’s directional pad provides eight
control directions for your robot’s head and neck.
The directional pad also controls the body and tail move-
ments using the Tail / Head button (See page 14).
The directional pad also provides 4 roving & 4 lighting actions
using the Mode button (See page 13).
NOTE:
Moving the Roboboa with the remote is like directing an actor on a
stage: actions are opposite to the robot’s left and right, making him more natu-
ral for you to control from the front
HINT:
As your Roboboa twists in any direction, rotating the remote controller
along with his movements is a good way to keep him in sync with your com-
mands.
The directional pad moves
the robot as illustrated:
Miscellaneous directional pad functions
This section describes miscellaneous functions of the directional pad on the
Roboboa remote controller.
Stop function
Press the red dot on the directional pad all the way inwards to activate the
Stop function.
The following table lists more Stop functions:
Hold function
The Hold function turns your robot into a smart
night light. The light sensor is located on the
back of the robot’s neck.
The following table outlines the Hold function:
When in Hold mode, your robot stops moving and turns off all his face lights to
save power. You can tell your robot is in Hold mode because his smile flashes
every few seconds .
IMPORTANT:
When Roboboa is in Hold mode, he will not power down on his
own. Roboboa can last for many days in Hold mode on fresh batteries, but make
sure to turn him off when not in use.
Function
First Stop
Second Stop
Description
Press the Stop button once to halt the
robot in his tracks. He will not move
or see but you’ll be able to move him
from the remote. If he receives no more
signals from the remote controller, he
resets to Aware mode after about 2
minutes.
Press the Stop button to Reset him to
his default position and enter Aware
mode.
While he is resetting to his default
position, his eyes glow orange. During a
reset, he will unfold from any position
he was in previously to the default
position (see page 7).
When you press the stop command,
Roboboa will exit from any action
except Program. (In Program, the Stop
command acts as a half-second delay
in the program sequence see page 17.)
Indicators Function
Hold
Description
Press and hold the directional pad
inwards completely for more than 2
seconds to activate the Hold function.
Doing this turns Roboboa into a dark-
ness-activated desk lamp, turning up
his lights in the dark and lowering them
in the light.
If the room is bright, his face flashes as
above, but when the room goes dark
his entire face lights up, as shown, for
about 6 hours.
