Light sensor
Ottobot is able to detect whether it is light or dark in a room and will respond accordingly. In the dark he will light up his control panel buttons as a beacon to attract your attention as well as ask before playing in case it is time
to sleep. By covering and revealing the light sensor Ottobot
realizes that you are looking to play and will offer up jokes, games and riddles.
Sound detector
Ottobot is able to detect sharp increases in noise level and loves it. He is always looking to explore and learn and thus responds excitedly to loud noises, often joining in himself with lights and sounds.

Ottobot’s ages
Ottobot is programmed with four distinct ages, each with developing content. Because of this, Ottobot will always amaze you since
his knowledge, jokes and phrases grow the more you play with him. He will also learn what your favorite game is and often offer
to play it with you. All of this information will remain (unless you are forced to perform
a complete restart - see reset) even if you change Ottobot’s batteries.
Sleeping | Reset button |
Ottobot comes with a power switch on his lower back that must be switched to “on” for him to play. But when playing with Ottobot it is not necessary to turn this switch on and off as Ottobot will sleep when not in use. If you have not played with Ottobot for awhile, or he is tired of exploring, Ottobot will go to sleep. When Ottobot is asleep he powers himself off to save his batteries and will not respond to pressing of his buttons or noises. To play with him again, just turn Ottobot upside down and give him a shake to wake him up. (see Tilt and Invert)
If there is no response, please switch to “off” and “on” to restart Ottobot.
Please note: it may be necessary to turn Ottobot completely upside down and hold him this way for
