Roboreptile starts in Direct Control Mode and is in this state
whenever he is waiting for, or performing, a controller command.
Roboreptile enters Free Roam if his Touch Sensor is pressed, after
reacting to sound, if the Free Roam button is pressed, after
reacting to infrared vision, after feeding, after the hood is removed,
or if he is left standing for about 30 seconds.
While in Free Roam mode, Roboreptile will avoid obstacles using
his Infrared Vision System. Occasionally he will stop moving and
listen for sharp, loud sounds using his Sonic Sensors. During this
time his vision and touch sensors are active.
Roboreptile’s response to environmental stimuli depends on the
mood he is in - Hungry Mood or Satisfied Mood.
If left in Free Roam Mode for about 5 minutes without any user
interaction, Roboreptile will power down. The only way to power
him back up is to turn him OFF and then ON again.
MOODS
Hungry
This is Roboreptile’s default mood. He is always hungry,
aggressive and active while in this mood.
Satisfied
After he has been fed (see p.7), he is lethargic and slow. He will
exit Satisfied Mood if left alone for about 60 seconds or if any
controller button is pressed.
Hooded
With the hood on, Roboreptile is in Hooded Mood and Subdued
(See p.6 for Hooded Mood - Subdued, Sleep Mode and Power
Down). Roboreptile’s vision and sound sensors are inactive in this
mood. To activate Roboreptile, remove his hood and he will return
to Hungry Mood.
