Miscellaneous directional pad functions / Stop function / Hold function  

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.)

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.
