Sleep mode / Guard modes
Even if you interact with your Roboboa once the alarm is set, he’ll interrupt
whatever he’s doing to play the alarm. If you need your robot to remind you to
go somewhere in two hours (for example), you can still use him as a light or for
fun and he’ll remember to activate his alarm.
Note: To clear your alarm, wake up your Roboboa by pressing Stop, then press
Reset (hold the Tail / Head button for more than 2 seconds), or execute a
Shutdown command (hold the Mode button then press Stop within 2 seconds),
or power your robot Off from the power button in his tail.
When his alarm goes off, you can turn him off or Stop by pressing any Mode
button.
Sleep mode
Put Roboboa to sleep so you can carry him around and all his programs and
alarm settings will be remembered.
CAUTION:
If you have set an alarm, he will wake up on his own, so do not
position him where he will hit things upon waking.
NOTE:
If left asleep for more than 24 hours, he will enter Shutdown mode
and all programs and settings will be lost unless you have pressed Daily. (See
page 15)
Guard modes
Roboboa can be used as a vigilant guard that can “protect” your desk, shelf, or
doorway. Guard mode scans a room from left to right at about 45 degrees on
each side, and to a range of several feet.
NOTE:
Before activating any guard mode, be sure to place him on an open
surface or floor.
To activate the Guard mode, press the Guard button. When your Roboboa
enters guard mode, he first “loads” himself up, then starts to scan the room
for objects.
The following table outlines the Guard mode functions from the remote
controller:

Programming Roboboa
You can program your Roboboa with
a sequence of up to 40 steps. He’ll
remember exactly what you program
him to do, and afterwards, he’ll repeat
the same thing back to you.
Program mode
While programming your robot, be sure you are pointing the remote directly
at the robot’s face for each step. This will ensure that your program steps are
properly recorded as he moves around.
As you enter functions, the robot will execute that function and play a ‘beep’ at
the end to confirm that it has been stored. You cannot move on to program the
next step until the
“beep”
sound completes.
The maximum number of program steps is 40. If you fill up the program memory,
Roboboa makes a sound, automatically saves your program, and executes it.
NOTE:
Every time you enter Program mode, the Roboboa puts you at the end
of the last program entered. This allows you to fine-tune long programs easily
using the Back function (see next page) or add new commands to your previous
program.
During Program mode, press the Execute button at any time to store your
program and auto-execute your routine. Do not press Stop to end programming:
Stop is just stored as a half-second delay in your program sequence.
