BACK FUNCTION / PROGRAM PLAY FUNCTION

You can clear your program from Aware mode by pressing the Reset button, or powering your robot Off then back On. He will not remember his program if powered off.

Functions like Forward, Backward, Left turn, Right turn, Track, Explore, Guard, Sentry, Patrol, Party, and Safety only save and execute for about 10 seconds in Program Mode.

Functions like Reset, Alarm, Sleep and Test only execute their animations. They do not change any of the robot’s Aware mode functions. (The Daily function is a good command for quickly resetting the robot to default position during program, but it is not stored as a program step.)

Conditional programming:

There are two special functions - Hold and Safety that are reserved as “conditional” program commands.

1 - When a Safety mode Program Step is reached in the sequence: Program execution waits until an object passes in front of his face, triggering the Safety Light on, then the program moves on to the next program step.

2 - When a Hold mode Program Step is reached: Program execution waits until there is a light level change on the light sensor at the back of the Roboboa’s neck.

-If it’s light when this step is reached, then the program moves on to the next step when it gets dark on the sensor.

-If it’s dark when this step is reached, then the program moves on to the next step when it gets light on the sensor.

This allows you to set up programmed games with your robot so he won’t activate until you shine a flashlight on him, or until the sun goes down, or a roomlight comes on, or someone walks in front of his face.

Example of a program

•Hold the Execute button for more than 2 seconds to enter Program Mode (his forehead brain light starts flashing).

•Press the directional pad upwards to move the head left.

•Press and hold the Mode button for more than 2 seconds for Safety mode.

•Press Mode + Tail / Head (Strafe).

•Press the directional pad downwards to move the head right.

•Press and hold the Mode button for more than 2 seconds for Safety mode.

•Press Mode + Track (Lazer).

•Press the directional pad inward for more than 2 seconds for Hold mode.

•Press Mode + Alarm (Test).

•Press Execute.

•The robot will now shoot something it sees to your left, then to your right, waiting each time for something to pass in front of his face. Then the robot will wait until the room gets dark (or something covers the back of his neck) and play his alarm.
