General Robosapien ™ Overview Q: Why do his controls seem to be reversed? A: Robosapien™V2 is controlled from the remote like you would direct an actor on a stage. When you are facing him, your left is his right, which makes him easier to work and program from the front.

General cont’d Q: How can I keep Robosapien™V2 awake for long periods? A: If he is kept in front of an object so his eyes blink slowly (a white wall about 4 1/2 feet/ 1 1/2 meters away works well), he will stare at it for over 2 days before his brain batteries finally die.
Controller overview Walking Q: What’s the difference between the various walking gaits? A: In addition to 6 turning moves (walk-turns and turn-in-place) your Robosapien™V2 has 5 different walking gaits.

Battery Details and Operations Overview Walking Cont’d Q: My robot isn’t walking well. What can I do? A: Though tested before shipping, your Robosapien™V2 may suffer stresses during use that may affect his ability to walk properly. To insure best walking operation, please check the following... 1 - We recommend using your robot only on smooth surfaces without cracks, grooves, or obstacles (i.e., wood, vinyl or laminate flooring).

Walking Cont’d Basic Operation If your robot is still not walking correctly, here are some simple solutions. SOLUTION FOR NOT WALKING STRAIGHT: If a footpad becomes deeply scratched or worn, it will bind on floors or carpet and interfere with proper walking. SOLUTION: If the robot tends to walk to the LEFT, put regular shiny scotch tape over the BACK INSIDE HEEL FOOTPAD of the RIGHT FOOT.

Vision Q: My robot keeps staring at strange objects around the room. What is he looking at? A: He “sees” using Infra Red (I/R) light, a light too “red” for humans to see. However, many appliances, computer screens, TVs, and dimmed lighting emit I/R light which your robot can be attracted to, so he’ll just naturally turn to have a look.

Vision Cont’d Cover these sensors to make him flinch. When you show your Robosapien™V2 something, be sure the object (or your hand holding the object) is big enough to cover the width of his face so he “flinches”. He also needs a second or two (depending on how bright the room is) to recognize the object.

Vision Cont’d Q: My Robot thinks I am blue. What do I do? A: If your robot thinks you are “blue” for some reason, then the problem is the white balance setting in his color camera eye. His default mode is “indoor yellow light” like the warm light you commonly get from indoor light bulbs.

Sound Personality Bodycons Q: How can I reduce the volume on my robot? A: A bit of tape over the speaker grill at the back of his neck will greatly reduce his volume (though he will sound like he’s talking through a telephone).

Q: Why does he pick up so far in front of himself? A: So that he doesn’t kick the object out of his reach before trying to pick it up. FOR INFORMATION ON THIS AND OTHER WOWWEE PRODUCTS, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE, http://www.wowwee.com...
