7. How to Play
After assembling AIR SHOOTER, let’s play.
AIR SHOOTER
is able to keep the ball inside and shoot it out. It will be fun to play games with
friends.
●
Suggested games
In order to play a game, there must be rules. The rules will vary in different types of games.
The following examples are games and their rules.
①
Soccer game
○
Game objectives : Make two teams of 1 to 3 players, and shoot the
ball to opponent’s goal to score like soccer.
②
Gathering balls
○
Game objectives : Make teams of 1 to 3 players. Place many balls
on the field. The team, which made more goals
than the other in the limited time, wins the game.
○
Rules
・
The field size
Use a ping-pong table. Install fences around
the table, and goals on both sides.
・
Play time
The first half is 5 minutes, half time:
1 minute, the second half : 5 minutes. If the score is tied, then there are 2 minute-halves as
an overtime. During the overtime, the team who gets the first goal, the V goal (Victory
Goal), wins. If the score is still the even after overtime, the winner will be decided by a
penalty-kick (PK) goal, which is played by shooting the ball at the target spot inside the
goal.
○
Rules
・
The field size
Use the same field as
①.
・
Play time
The time limit is 6 minutes. When the
scores are even after the six minutes, then
there is a 2 minute-overtime. If the game
still ties, play a time trial race. First, place
the machines at the end line of the field.
They will compete the time to get the ball at
the middle of the field and shoot it.
※
Hint
Please use ping-pong balls. When the balls
roll around the field too fast, make a small
hole (2
〜
3 mm in diameter) in the ball,
then, put in small cut-up pieces of rubber
bands to adjust the stability.
Make a small hole.

How to install the batteries
Power Source / ”AA” alkaline battery X 4 pcs
(not included)
①
Place the batteries in the battery holder of the
controller. Make sure of the correct polarity
(
+
&
−
).
②
Insert the battery holder to the controller in the
correct direction.
hook
* Place the battery terminal side inward.
* Insert the battery holder until it is hooked.
* When bending the battery contacts, make the terminal stand up a little.
Problem
Check
●
Check here when the machine is not operating properly.
・
Check the polarity of the batteries.
・
Check the wiring for the controller and body.
・
Check that the screws and motor terminals are contacting. If
not, look over step
③
and
⑨
in “Assembly of Body.”
・
Check the wiring of the body and controller: the wire pat-
terns, installing location.
・
Check that the lock nut is screwed in tightly, referring to step
②
in “Assembly of Body.”
・
Check the power of the batteries. When the battery charge is
low, the machine tends not to move straight. Change with
new batteries.
・
The machine contains a driving motor on each left and right
side. Because the assembly and parts (size, shape, etc)
are not exactly identical, it may cause this alignment problem.
・
The machine does not
move at all.
・
The machine does not
move as controlled.
・
The legs do not rotate, though
the gears are rotating.
・
The machine moves a little
crooked when going for-
ward (backward.)
