PROGRAMMING
SAMPLE PROGRAM FOR THE HOVERBOT
1. Convert the Rover into HoverBot mode using the instructions on the previous
page. Put the model on the floor in an open area. Hold it upright and turn
it on.
Because the robot remembers the previous balance setting, the robot
may not be balancing perfectly. That's okay — when you run the
program, the correct balance setting will be applied to the robot.
2. Establish the Bluetooth connection with the app. Open the HoverBot program.
Note that the balance setting is set to B.
3. Press the run button. Hold the robot until it is standing upright and balancing on its
own. Observe the robot's actions as it runs the program. Below, write down what
the robot does for each command step of the program.
