Fall detection
If Roborover falls forward about 45°, he will
balance on his treads and continue moving and
making comments, but you will need to set him
back upright to play with him normally . If he
falls forward all the way, you will need to set
him back upright . To do so, simply pick him up
and set him upright on his treads .
Object detection
By default, Roborover's Object detection feature is enabled . If you want to be able to drive
Roborover closer to small obstacles, you might want to turn Roborover's Object detection off .
To toggle Object detection off, quickly press the Forward direction button twice and
hold . Roborover will make a comment to indicate whether or not he can "see" . When
you release the Forward direction button, his object detection will be enabled .
NOTE: This feature does not have any effect in Demo or Game modes .
Seek function
Roborover is equipped with a Seek function, which allows him to follow you, or locate
and move towards you . He can still detect and avoid obstacles in his path while seeking .
To turn on the Seek function, press and hold the Seek button on the remote controller .
Roborover will look for you, and make comments as he goes . If he strays away from
you, continue to hold the Seek button as he scans the area to look for you . If you
release the Seek button, Roborover thinks he has reached you, and will make another
comment . Press the Seek button again if you want him to continue seeking you .
NOTE: Avoid using the Seek function in a cluttered area, as it will confuse Roborover
and make it harder for him to detect the signal from the remote controller .
Roborover's IR sensors are based on reflection which means he can see highly
reflective surfaces, such as white walls or mirrors more easily and from greater
distances than matte or black surfaces .
