This function fires off a short ‘machine-gun’ round at whatever is directly in

other Wowwee robots and watch them react! Secret codes embedded in the
animations directly activate functions in prior Wowwee technology.

Track mode
Ever needed someone to “move that light here”? In Track mode, Roboboa
searches for objects with his lights on full, then follows them as they move (like
your hands while fixing a flat tire in the dark).
If your Roboboa finds nothing in view, then he will continue to look around with
his lights on until he does find something to look at. He will do this for about
10 minutes before returning back to aware mode.
Scan mode
In Scan mode, Roboboa searches an entire room for something else to look at
other than what he is currently staring at.
Explore mode
Roboboa roves around to have a look around, genuinely curious about what
you’re doing and where he lives. He’ll explore for about 10 minutes looking for
near things (with a ping noise), and far things (with a bump noise).
When entering explore, the first thing he does is check twice if there is floor
in front of him. If he sees nothing, he’ll refuse to wander for fear of hurting
himself.
Before you put him in Explore mode ensure that he is on a smooth and flat floor
surface clear of walls or obstacles.
Alarm modes
This section describes the alarm modes you can set on Roboboa from the
remote controller. You can set Roboboa in one of three Alarm modes: Alarm
Set, Daily alarm and Test alarm.
The following table describes the different functions of the Alarm modes:
Function
Scan
Button combination
Press and hold the
Track button for more
than 2 seconds
Description
Your Roboboa scans the whole room
for nearby objects from left to right,
and takes an interest in what he
finds. Useful for getting the robot to
look elsewhere when he gets fixated
on just one thing. If he sees nothing,
then he shows his confusion.

Button combination
Press the Alarm button
for each hour you want
to “timeshift” the alarm,
that is, to set the alarm.
Press and hold the Alarm
button for more than 2
seconds
Hold MODE then press
the Alarm button for
more than 2 seconds
Description
Roboboa will confirm each press of the
button with a ding noise.
Press the Alarm button as many hours
as you need to (up to about 16 hours),
then wait for about 5 seconds and he’ll
put himself to sleep. After the passing
of hours equal to the number of “dings”,
your Roboboa will wake up with a loud,
compelling alarm.
Want your Roboboa to wake you up
at the same time every day? Set the
timeshift alarm as above and press this
button for four rapid pings. As long as
he’s got power, he’ll wake up with an
alarm at the same time every day (plus
or minus a few minutes).
If you have not set an alarm when you
press Daily, then the robot will get
confused.
See and hear your Roboboa’s waking
alarm.
