MODES OF PLAY
Your MegaBotz Tanks have three (3) modes of play competition.
NOTE: Each time a hit is scored, one of the ve (5) status lights will ash and when there is another hit the
light will go out. When the hit takes place on a MegaBotz Tank, it will shudder for 4-seconds and cannot be
controlled. When shuddering stops, normal control is restored.
MODE-1: Mode 1 is designed so you and a friend can
play. In this mode, both MegaBotz Tanks are switched to
MAN (manual) and both transmitters are used. The
player to score 10 hits on his opponent wins the match.
MODE-2: In Mode 2 you battle against the on-board
computer of the other MegaBotz Tank. The MegaBotz
Tank you are controlling is switched to MAN (manual),
and the other MegaBotz Tank is switched to AI (Articial
Intelligent). The MegaBotz Tank switched to AI mode
will now continue to battle until the game is over.
Remember that the MegaBotz Tank switched to AI
mode does not need the transmitter to play.
NOTE: Before operating the MegaBotz, make sure your trim
adjustments are properly set as noted on page 8.
MODE-3: In Mode 3 both MegaBotz Tanks are switched to the AI (Articial Intelligent)
mode. Both MegaBotz Tanks will battle each other on
there own, without any control input by the transmitter.
The Tanks will battle each other until the game is over.
The rst MegaBotz Tank to score all 10 hits will win
the battle. Remember that both transmitters are not
required for this type of battle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In Mode 2 and Mode 3 the Horizon Barrier Arena
must be used. In mode 1 you can operate the MegaBotz with, or
without the Horizon Barrier Arena. Please follow assembly instructions for the Arena below.
ASSEMBLING THE ARENA
Follow the instructions below and repeat until the entire circular arena is built.
NOTE: It is suggested to setup the arena indoors away from direct sunlight as it may affect the performance of the sensors.

two halfs of the plastic
support.
Place a barrier panel
over the support, lining
up the holes in it with the
pegs in the support.
Overlap a second barrier
panel and position the
