Control Panel
Located on the top of Ottobot’s head are 
four colored buttons that make up his 
control panel. This is Ottobot’s most 
useful sensor as it allows you to choose 
and play many different games. It is 
very easy to access any game or activity 
that you would like to play by pressing the 
red or green buttons three times. Ottobot will
then ask you what game you would like to play, allowing you to choose from 4 different choices linked directly to a color. Many times Ottobot will offer up games to play while interacting with him, but the control panel allows you to easily choose games you wish to play. Choose your favorite and have fun!
Hands
Hidden in each of Ottobot’s hands
are sensors that you can activate by pressing the thumb in towards
his hand. This is your way of 
answering Ottobot’s questions by 
activating Ottobot’s left hand for 
“yes” (marked with a “Y”) and 
his right hand for “no” (marked with a 
“N”). Pressing his hand also lets Ottobot 
know that you are ready for the next 
part of his joke or riddle. Even when not playing a game or answering a question Ottobot enjoys when you hold his hands as it lets him know you are his friend.

Tilt and invert
Ottobot uses these special sensors to orient himself. The tilt sensor allows Ottobot to know that you have picked him up when he is moved. Ottobot enjoys being held and brought to new places faster than his little
legs can normally carry him. Ottobot also enjoys to be held upside down, which triggers
his Invert sensor. Being held upside down 
makes Ottobot laugh and giggle until he gets 
dizzy. Another important action the Invert 
sensor performs is canceling out of games 
you are finished playing and waking Ottobot 
up when he goes to sleep. If Ottobot fails 
to respond to button presses, he has most likely gone to sleep. Turn him upside down and he should wake up and be ready to respond. If this fails to work, slide the power switch off and on again. It is always a good idea to turn Ottobot upside down after powering
him on and off as sometimes he may still be sleeping and remain unresponsive even though the power is on.
