CONTROLLING THE ROBOT

WARNING:  Never play with your robot in the street.

CAUTIONS:  Do not use the robot on a wet floor, on sand, or in mud, rain,
           or snow.  These can damage it.

           If the robot moves slowly, and you have installed fresh
           batteries, check the wheel mechanisms and remove any lint,
           thread, hair, or dust you find.

Follow these steps to control the robot.

1.  Set OFF/ON on the back of the robot to ON.  The robot circles clockwise
    or runs in a straight line, depending on how the robot was running when
    it was last turned off.

2.  To change the robots direction, press and hold down the transmitter's
    button.

    If the robot was running in a straight line, it stops.  Then it circles
    clockwise as long as you hold down the button.

    If the robot was circling clockwise, it stops.  Then it runs in a
    straight line as long as you hold the button.

    NOTES:  Your robot has a mind of its own.  It sometimes continues to
            either circle clockwise or run in a straight line even when you
            release the transmitter's button.  I this happens, simply press
            the button again to change the robot's direction.

            Your robot stops when it runs into anything, but the motor
            keeps running.  If this happens, either press and hold down the
            button on the transmitter to circle backwards, or move the
            robot by hand.

3.  To stop the robot, press and release the transmitter's button.  The
    robot changes direction, runs for a few seconds, then stops.

4.  When you finish controlling the robot, set OFF/ON to OFF.
