Remote Controller function chart The Remote Controller has 3 layers Press the Select Button to cycle through the layers. The light stays lit (layer active) for about 30 seconds after the last button press and then returns to ‘layer 1’. To see these controls outlined in more detail: Controller Layer 1 (p.12) Controller Layer 2 (p.13) Controller Layer 3 (p.14) Roboreptile responds to remote control commands more easily when you are in front of him. He will not see as well if the controller is behind him.
Free roam Mode, moods and Sleep Mode MOODS Roboreptile starts in Direct Control Mode and is in this state whenever he is waiting for, or performing, a controller command. Hungry This is Roboreptile’s default mood. He is always hungry, Roboreptile enters Free Roam if his Touch Sensor is pressed, after aggressive and active while in this mood.
Free roam Mode, moods and Sleep Mode Roboreptile can be difficult to hood when he is in Hungry Mood as he is very aggressive. It is easier to put the Hood accessory on after he has eaten (see Feeding - p.7), as he will be calmer and less likely to shake the hood off. If Roboreptile succeeds in shaking the hood off before he calms down, he will be really aggressive! Hooded - Subdued By listening to Roboreptile’s breathing you can tell whether he is subdued or asleep.
feeding your roboreptile Feeding Roboreptile can be fed to calm him down. To feed Roboreptile, PRESS AND HOLD the Feed button. He will not react to the feed signal while hooded. To make Roboreptile eat after tracking and chasing, release the feed button. To instantly feed Roboreptile without tracking and chasing, press and quickly release the Feed button.
vision sensors Roboreptile has Infrared Vision Sensors that enable him to detect movement and avoid obstacles in his path. The sensors react best to movement in the area just in front of his nose. Roboreptile’s Vision Sensors will react when moving or stationary, but he is unable to see anything when hooded. To interact with Roboreptile using his Vision Sensors, he must stop moving first otherwise he will perform an Obstacle Avoidance.
Touch sensor Roboreptile is equipped with a Touch Sensor, which allows him to respond to human interaction. Top view of Roboreptile The Touch Sensor is located on Roboreptile’s back, at the base of his neck. He only likes his touch sensor being pressed when he is Hooded. See subdued below. In direct control mode Roboreptile can easily be put into Free Roam without the use of the remote controller by pressing the Touch Sensor. Roboreptile will perform a short animation and enter Free Roam.
Sonic sensors Roboreptile has Sonic Sensors located on either side of his head, just behind the jaw. These enable him to detect sharp, loud sounds (like a clap) to his left, right, and directly ahead. Front view of Roboreptile When he hears a sound he will run towards it. Roboreptile listens when he is stationary, not wearing his hood, and when he isn’t in Program Mode. When he is performing a movement or animation his Sonic Sensors are turned OFF.
