Safety instructions
Before building and using the robot, it is important
to read the following precautions. Please follow
them!
Read through these instructions before you
●
begin, and keep them on hand while building.
This robot kit is not a toy! Keep it out of the
●
reach of children! It is only for ages 14 and up.
Do not use where small animals are loose.
●
For safety reasons, never leave the robot
●
unattended.
Since variAnt doesn't have a cover, be extra
●
careful to keep metal objects and tools from
causing a short circuit.
Caution: Do not touch inside the power unit!
●
Caution: Due to variAnt's open structure, there
●
are sharp edges and corners.
variAnt may only be used indoors. Do not use
●
this robot in traffic areas!
Do not use variAnt on tables and other
●
surfaces from which it could fall.
Only use the robot in dry, clean spaces. Dirt,
●
dust, foreign objects, and dampness destroy
the mechanics and electronics.
Caution: Do not hook up devices to the robot,
●
especially not ones with mains voltage!
If you hook up a device to the robot, we are
●
not liable for lost data.
The robot is designed exclusively for learners,
●
teachers, and experimental purposes. Any and
all liability is excluded in the case that it is
used for any other purpose.
