Roam Mode (Yellow)
MiP™ will explore its environment and roam freely. It will acknowledge obstacles that it can see
with its IR Sensors, stop and turn away from them. MiP™ will exit Roam Mode after three minutes
or if it falls. Should MiP™ get stuck on a small obstacle below its IR Sensor and is not repositioned
by you, MiP™ will exit the mode.
Object detection
As MiP™ moves around, it will detect objects in range, directly in front of it. Upon detection,
MiP™ will
make a sound, turn and drive in another direction. Note that MiP™ does not have edge detection, so do
not allow it to roam freely in an area with edges from which it could fall.
NOTE: MiP™ cannot detect obstacles below the range of its IR Sensor (located above the eyes),
to the side, or from behind.
Dance Mode - (Turquoise)
MiP™ will perform dance routines by moving around and dancing to music.
NOTE: MiP™ moves around during dance routines. Ensure the surrounding area is free from
obstacles and edges.
Track Mode - (Orange)
MiP™ will track and follow your hand gestures. Hold your hand in front of MiP™ until it makes a
low beep tracking sound then guide MiP™ around by moving your hand slowly in any direction.
MiP™ will track forwards, backwards, left and right movements. Note: MiP™ is more accurate
at tracking slower movements.
SLEEP MODE
If MiP™ is left for approximately 10 minutes, it will enter Sleep Mode after making a sound. The
LED Mood Indicator will turn o along with object detection, and the unit will no longer balance
and drop to a prone position.
To wake MiP™ from Sleep Mode, turn it OFF for 10 seconds and then ON again using the Power
Switch located on the back.
NOTE: If you are done playing with MiP™, turn it o using the power switch located on the back.
