BALANCE SETTINGS
BALANCE SETTINGS
Because the different models in this kit have different
A
shapes and weights, and therefore different centers of
gravity, they require different balance settings (A) to
keep them perfectly balanced.
There is a preset default balance setting for each model.
This is indicated in this manual on the programming
page at the end of the assembly instructions for each
E
model. The preset balance settings cannot be edited. You
will need to choose the correct balance setting for your
model whether you are using the app in remote control
mode or programming mode.
B
You can view the saved balance settings by tapping on
the balance settings file icon (B) and opening the
balance settings library and then tapping on one of the
saved balance setting files there (C).

If you design your own models, or you want to test the
balance settings of one of the included models, you can
define your own balance setting by tapping the dots
along the side to change the page and then tapping one
of the gray balance setting records (D). A balance
settings screen with five sliders will open.

After setting the five sliders (E) to the values that you
want to try, press the run button (F) to load the settings
onto the robotic base unit and test out the balancing
performance. If you want to adjust a value to improve
the balancing performance, change the location of the
slider and then press the run button again to load the
new settings onto the robot.
After pressing the run button and uploading the values
F
H
G
onto the robot, the run button will change to a remote
control button (G), which you can use as a shortcut to
the remote control mode to test out driving your model
with the balance settings you just chose.
Tip: Adjust the settings in order from top to bottom. Start
with all of the settings at zero and slowly increase them
until the model balances upright and shakes back and
forth only slightly.
Tip: To create a balance setting file based on the current
setting on the robotic base unit, open a blank balance
settings file and tap the read balance settings button (H).
Continue reading on the next page for explanations of
the different balance settings. You can experiment with
each one to see how they affect the balancing behavior.
