Function Description
First Stop Press the Stop button once to halt the
robot in his tracks. He will not move

signals from the remote controller, he

minutes.

While he is resetting to his default
position, his eyes glow orange. During a
reset, he will unfold from any position
he was in previously to the default

When you press the stop command,
Roboboa will exit from any action
except Program. (In Program, the Stop
command acts as a half-second delay
in the program sequence see page 17.)
