This function fires off a short ‘machine-gun’ round at whatever is directly in 
front of the Roboboa’s face. Shoot light and sound at friends, toys, pets, or 
other Wowwee robots and watch them react!  Secret codes embedded in the 
animations directly activate functions in prior Wowwee technology.

Description

Roboboa shoots lights over a wide 
area.

A few animated lazer shots at 
whatever’s in front of the robot’s 
face. Good for interacting with 
Roboraptor and Roboreptile.

“Ka-Boom” at the press of a but-
ton. Useful for activating Wowwee 
humanoids like the Robosapien, and 
the Robosapien V2.

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.

Function

Alarm Set 
function

Daily alarm 
function

Test alarm 
function

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.
