Identifying your Bee-Bot Model
Before we start, check to see which version of Bee-Bot you have. There will be a few differences in the
set-up and available features, depending on what version you have.
• If you have an older version of Bee-Bot (pre-2019), it will have two switches on its underside.,
which are for POWER and SOUND.
• If you have a newer, upgraded version of Bee-Bot (2019 onwards), it will have three switches on
its underside. The additional switch is a SENSOR switch which increases its functionality.
The set-up and features for both versions will be explained in this guide.
Set-up Instructions
Charging Bee-Bot
Before using your Bee-Bot, ensure that it has enough charge.
Please note: If you have one of the earliest (pre-2011) models of Bee-Bot, it will not have a
USB port/charging socket and will need 3 x AA batteries to power it.
When replacing the 3 x AA batteries:
• Turn the power slide switch (located on the base of Bee-Bot) to off.
• Use a coin to loosen the battery compartment.
• Replace all batteries at the same time – don't mix old batteries with new ones.
