Basic Operation - Learning Resources Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Manual

Basic Operation

POWER Slide to turn the power ON. Colby is ready to program!
SPEED
Choose between Normal and Hyper. Normal is best for regular use on the maze
board, while Hyper is best for play on the ground or other surfaces.
FORWARD For each FORWARD step, Colby moves forward a set amount (5") (12.5 cm).
REVERSE
For each REVERSE step, Colby moves backward a set amount (5") (12.5 cm).
ROTATE RIGHT For each ROTATE RIGHT step, Colby will rotate to the right 90 degrees.
ROTATE LEFT For each ROTATE LEFT step, Colby will rotate to the left 90 degrees.
ACTION
For each ACTION step, Colby will perform one of 3 RANDOM actions:
• Move forward and back
• Loud "SQUEAAKK"
• CHIRP-CHIRP-CHIRP (and light-up eyes!)
GO Press to execute or perform your programmed sequence, up to 40 steps!
CLEAR To clear all programmed steps, press and hold until you hear a confi rmation tone.
Important notes: if the mouse begins to move o the programmed course, or if it fails to turn a full
90 degrees, this could be a sign of low battery power. When the batteries are very low, the mouse
will begin to beep and fl ash its eyes, and the GO button will be disabled. Replace the old batteries as
soon as possible to restore complete functionality.
Please do not push the robot mouse forward or back with force. This can damage the wheels and
break the axles inside.
