manual abstract
Your new robot responds to plain-language commands spoken into the high-tech LED wristwatch controller. It has full 360 degree movement capability and is designed to do battle with other Robot Challenge™ robots and Commando Challenge™ tanks. Each robot has a lazer cannon integrated into its right arm and a lazer target on its chest. The robot interacts with other robots and tanks using the lazer as a virtual weapon to fire at opposing machines. Maneuver your robot using the wristwatch controller to command it, with the goal being to score hits on your opponent’s robot or tank without sustaining hits yourself. Each time a robot sustains a hit, it loses 25% of its ‘power’ or ‘life’, one chest-mounted LED goes out and it automatically rotates 180 degrees with accompanying sound and light effects. After sustaining a fourth and final hit, the robot is out of ‘power’ and shuts down signifying that the game is over. To play again, simply press the red ‘reset’ button mounted on top of the robot’s head. You can create a battle-zone using various household objects to provide cover and to serve as obstacles. You can create goals to reach, or areas to defend. Try using reflective surfaces to ricochet your lazer fire or controller commands – use your imagination and let us know what your favorite games are! Before you start Install the batteries – you will need four fresh AA alkaline batteries for the robot. Insert the batteries by following the diagram below. The wristwatch voice controller comes with (3x) LR44 batteries pre-installed – if you need to replace them, follow the diagram below. Battery Warnings • Use only fresh alkaline batteries from a newly opened battery pack. • Do not leave batteries inside the robot or controller when not in use for extended periods of time. • Remove and properly dispose of weak or dead batteries. How to play 1) Switch on the robot An On/Off switch is located on the back of the robot – switch it to the ON position. The robot will power up and identify itself by name (Chaos or Disabler). 2) Power indicator LEDs At power-up the 4 LEDs on the chest of the robot illuminate, indicating that the robot has 100% of it’s ‘power’ or ‘life’. Each time it is hit, one LED turns off indicating a 25% loss of power. When all 4 of your robot’s LEDs are out, the game is over and you have lost. 3) Switch on the controller The LED wristwatch / controller has a side-mounted switch which has 3 positions (center is OFF). Slide the switch forward to control a red robot (the front-mounted LED will light up in red), slide the switch backwards to control a blue robot (the LED will light up in green). Aim the front (3x) LR44 mounted IR transmitter (see diagram below) at the robot and speak into the controller, using the relevant command phrase noted below (and on the face of the controller). Commanding the Robot You will notice that the command phrases are divided into two parts. Speak the first phrase into the microphone located on the wristwatch. The top mounted LED will flash and a short beep will sound. This indicates that the controller is ready to accept the 2nd part of the command. Then, speak the second phrase. IR Transmitter At this point the robot will respond to your Indicator LED command. If you have made an error partway through, merely say STOP. This will cause the robot to stop whatever it is doing and reset the controller making it ready to accept a new command. If you hear a double-beep, the controller is signalling you that it has not understood your command and that you should try again. Microphone Command Phrases Action Spoken Command Fire: Robot
