ROBOPANDA™’S PLAY MODES
10
Menu mode
When you set Robopanda to Menu mode,
Robopanda will tell you stories and play
games with you. In this mode, his touch
sensors are used to navigate the menu. In
Menu mode, you can access Robopanda’s
stories, games, songs and tricks.
Robopanda’s stories and games vary
depending on the activity and story
cartridge.
NOTE: To return to the main menu while
playing with him in Menu mode, touch
the sensor on his back.
Stories and songs
Robopanda can tell you stories and
jokes in which you can participate, and
even ask you to sing songs with him.
Robopanda will sometimes ask you to select a story or he
might pick his own story. Depending on the choices you
make and how you interact with Robopanda as he tells his
stories, the outcome will change!
NOTE: Songs are available on Activity and story cartridge #2.
Games
In the Games setting of Menu mode, you can play games with Robopanda. He will ask
you to play along with him by touching his various sensors.
Tricks
In the Tricks setting, you can teach Robopanda routines by moving his arms around. He
will remember the moves and play them back to you.
Robopanda will tell you when his memory is full.
When you want Robopanda to play back his moves, wait 3 seconds after you finish
teaching him the trick. You can also instruct him to remember the trick by touching
one of his arms or legs to save it to his memory.
NOTE: When Robopanda is playing back his movements, let him play back his routine
and avoid touching him until he is done.
Robopanda will remember his tricks if you have saved them to his memory, even after
you turn him off, as long as the original cartridge on which you taught him remains
inserted. However, if you change cartridges and remove the original cartridge, he will
forget all his tricks, even if you re-insert the original cartridge. In this case, you’ll have
to teach him new tricks.
Free roam
In Free roam, you can let Robopanda roam on his own on his four limbs. While he is
crawling, you can touch his right arm to make him turn towards the left, or touch his
left arm to make him turn towards the right. He will stop crawling on his own or you
can interrupt his crawling by touching his back.
NOTE: Robopanda crawls around best on surfaces that are non-slip and higher traction,
such as vinyl flooring or rubber mats.
