Playing games

In the game mode, you can control AIBO with commands, and AIBO will do the performance exclusive to this mode.

You can make AIBO carry a light object such as a pen, or engage it in a soccer match with another AIBO. The game-mode-AIBO can be made to track a ball with its color camera.

This section describes how to use the sound controller for the game commands and play games using AIBO. To send commands in other modes, see page 91.

Operating AIBO in the game mode

Set the sound controller for the game commands to send a certain command by simply pressing a single button (each button has a printed symbol indicating how AIBO moves with that button).

When AIBO is sleeping, shake it awake before setting it to the game mode. When it is on the station, put it down on the floor and shake it awake (see page 39).

1 Make sure the sound controller is turned on.

When the power is on, all the controller lamps light up.

To turn the power on, press the C button.

2 Press the GAME button to set AIBO to the game mode.

The sound controller is set for the game commands and all the controller lamps flash in green (or orange). A command is sent and AIBO is also set to the game mode, shown by its eye lamps flashing in green (or red).
