Introduction The mechanical coding wheel is the heart of the Mech.5 Mechanical Coding Robot. It steers its coded courses and programmed tasks. Coding is executed effortlessly by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel directing your robot to perform its basic functions – move forward, backward, right or left, spin or pause.
Plastic Parts Cut off the plastic parts when they are required. Do not cut them in advance.

How to Replace the Batteries 1 REMOVE 3 2 REMOVE Battery( AAA) x 2 Insert “–” on battery first Removal and replacement of batteries should be carried out by adults or under adult supervision. Avoid short circuiting the contacts in the battery compartment or the battery terminals. Do not mix used batteries and new batteries or batteries of different types. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) , or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
Trouble Shooting 1. Ensure all coding buttons are assembled correctly (refer to page 14). 2. Ensure the coding wheel is assembled correctly (refer to pages 15–17, steps 1 – 6 ). 3. If the robot does not move smoothly or appropriately when turning right/left or stopping, please go back to pages 9–10 and ensure steps 18 – 21 are correctly executed. 4.
