    6 - AUTONOMOUS WANDERING:
    “Onward Valiant Steed! There are dustbunnies to conquer!”
    Your robot has a secret that will allow him to wander about so that when he touches something with his heels, fingers, or toes, he will perform a reflex task, then carry on. Using this, he can push boxes, play simple soccer, karate chop anything in his path, or wander around picking things up when he finds them, without you having to control him.
    It works like this. Normally, his touch sensors (R> and L>) are set to default ("Ooo" and "Ouch") so when he walks into something he will just stop.
    However…
    If his sensor reflexes are not default, then when he touches something while walking he will execute that reflex program (different from left or right), then return to the walking mode he was in before the reflex played.


    7 - BASIC OBJECT AVOIDING:
    For example, after power-on wakeup has finished, type in this...
    Press R>
    BACKWARD
    LEFT TURN button (above the L> button)
    Press P>
    STOP
    Press L>
    BACKWARD
    RIGHT TURN button (above the R> button)
    Press P>
    STOP
    Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press FORWARD
    He will now wander for five minutes, backing up and turning away every time he touches or kicks something. By giving him an occasional forearm motion by the remote he will continue to wander, otherwise he’ll just go to sleep if he does not hear an I/R command after five minutes.


    8 - MAZE MODE:
    A basic backup when he hits something will definitely take him out of harms way, but it takes time and will not allow him to get out of corners. The following reflex programmes allow him to do just that, and lets him quickly wander around hallways or furniture.
    Press R>
    Select - LEANFWD
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - LEFT TURN button (above the L> button)
    Select - LEANBWD
    Press P>
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Select - LEANFWD
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - BACKWARD
    RIGHT TURN button (above the R> button)
    Select - STOP
    Press P>
    Press STOP
    Press Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press FORWARD
    The right side will hug walls, while the left will make him steer clear of them.


    9 - SOCCER MODE:
    By changing the direction of his reflex action, he can turn into something, rather than away from it. For example, he can kick his accessory cup around quite effectively with the following program…
    Press R>
    Select - Right turn button (above the R> button)
    Press P>
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    BACKWARD
    Select - Left turn button (above the L> button)
    Press P>
    Press STOP
    Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press FORWARD
    Now he can kick around his accessory cup or other things with less chance of loosing them. A few coins in the bottom of his cup will keep it from sliding too far ahead of him while he kicks it.


    10 - BOX PUSH:
    He can also push boxes (equal to or larger than a tissue box) and other things around. Anything he can touch with his sensors is fair game.
    Press R>
    Select - RIGHT TURN button (above the R> button)
    Select - LEANFWD
    FORWARD
    Select - LEANBWD
    BACKWARD
    LEFT TURN button (above the L> button)
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Select - LEANBWD
    Select – Select - BULLDOZER
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - BACKWARD
    RIGHT TURN button (above the R> button)
    Select - STOP
    Press STOP
    Press Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press FORWARD
    He will now push boxes and other objects about in two different ways.


    11 - WANDERING NINJA:
    Take a swing, at everything. A cardboard paper towel tube will fit tightly in his right hand allowing him to thrash things safely but with amusing results.
    Press R>
    Select – RIGHT STRIKE 1
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select – FORWARD
    Select – Select – ROAR
    BACKWARD
    Left turn button (above the L> button)
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Select – LEFT STRIKE3
    Select – RIGHT STRIKE3
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - Right turn button (above the R> button)
    Select - STOP
    Press P>
    Press STOP
    Press Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press Forward
    Sleeping pets beware.


    12 – FIND AND GRAB MODE:
    Set him to pick stuff up and throw it around. His accessory cup works well.
    Press R>
    Right shoulder up
    Right turn button (above the R> button)
    Select – RIGHT PICKUP
    Select - Select - BULLDOZER
    Select – RIGHT THROW
    Select - STOP
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Left shoulder up
    Left turn button (above the L> button)
    Select – LEFT PICKUP
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select – LEFT THUMP
    Select - STOP
    Press STOP
    Press LEFT TURN, LEFT TURN
    He will now walk in circles looking for objects, pick them up, and toss them. Has also been known to work with small laundry articles.


    13 - PARTY MODE:
    For a more sophisticated example that will entertain people at a party, type in this...
    Press R>
    Select - Select – HIGH5
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - Select - TALKBACK
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - RIGHT TURN button (above the R> button)
    Select - STOP
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Select - BACKWARD
    Select - Select - DANCE
    Select - BACKWARD
    LEFT TURN (above the L> button)
    Select - Select - WHISTLE
    Select - STOP
    Press STOP
    Press FORWARDS
    He will now entertain any that touch him with a hello and grunts, or a song, dance and a whistle, before backing up and turning away. He will also do the same thing if left in a spin-in-place mode, or walkturn mode by pressing either turn button twice.

    14 - FIVE-MINUTE BURP-FART FEST:
    For a less… sophisticated example that will entertain people at a party, type in this...
    Press R>
    Select - Select - BURP
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    Select - Select – OOPS
    Press STOP
    Press BACKWARD
    As soon as he hits a wall, he will randomly “entertain” for 5 minutes.


    15 – Super Wander Mode (advanced):
    The time it takes to run a reflex program does not take away from the time taken for wandering. If you put a LISTEN command in the touch reflexes, then the robot will wait for up to 2 hours for a sound letting it walk again. In a noisy place like a small room with a loud TV or stereo, the following program can possibly keep your robot wandering for many hours.
    Press R>
    BACKWARD
    Select – LISTEN
    Left turn button (above the L> button)
    Select – LISTEN
    Select - STOP
    Select – LISTEN
    Press STOP
    Press L>
    BACKWARD
    Select – LISTEN
    Right turn button (above the R> button)
    Select – LISTEN
    Select - STOP
    Select – LISTEN
    Press STOP
    Press Select – STOP (arm reset)
    When finished, press FORWARD
    The right side will hug walls, while the left will make him steer clear of them. Many such combinations are possible. Variations are encouraged.
    Notes:
    - While wandering, your RoboSapien will continue wandering for 5 minutes unless he gets a refresh signal from his IR controller (press a forearm action button quickly every few minutes, for example).
    - If you do want him to stop walking after playing a touch reflex, put a STOP command at the end of your reflex program. He will execute any touch reflex, but then completely stop moving after he hits this command in your program.
    - He does not respond to touch sensors when he’s executing a touch reflex, but he does respond to any LISTEN sonic triggers in your reflex program.
    - This mode works for all walking modes of the robot, not just forward. He can walk in large circles at night and scan whatever he touches with his flashlight hands, for example, using WALK-TURN
    (Select – TURN)
    - Select – STOP puts his arms into the best position for sensing objects in front of him. If his forearms are inwards, his shoulders will get caught on walls. If out too far, then he will trigger on anything his fingertips touch.
    - Press R> - P> and L> - P> to clear his touch-reflex sensors to default.

    16 - CONDITIONAL REFLEX PROGRAMMING:
    “Hey man, wanna… pull my finger?”
    During master program P> playback, the robot can be set to "wait" for specific sensor inputs before advancing to the next program instruction. This works for all reflex sensors. When in Program Mode ("Beep, beep, beep"), you can press any of the reflex buttons (R>, S>, or L>), and that sensor will then be entered as a single "step" in the master program.
    The master program can link in the reflexes, but not the other way around. If you try, the robot will give you an "Eeh!" noise, telling you that you've tried an illegal programming function. When a touch reflex is in "conditional mode" during program playback, the robot ignores all other signals except a touch on that specific sensor (or a STOP command from the remote).
    - The master program P is only 14 steps long, but can conditionally link in the Reflex sensors, each of which are 6 steps each for a total of 84. Each of the reflex sensors will behave just as they do normally, but only when it is their turn in the program.
    During program playback, the robot can be set to “conditionally” wait for specific sensor inputs before advancing to the next instruction. This works for all reflex sensors, both sound and touch.
    PULL MY FINGER:
    A “touch” example is the “Pull My finger” conditional program below. After the robots power-on wakeup has finished, enter this…
    Press R>
    Select – Select – OOPS
    Select - STOP
    Press P>
    STOP
    Press L>
    Select – Select – BURP
    Select – STOP
    Press P>
    STOP
    Press P
    Select - STOP
    Left Forearm IN
    Right Forearm OUT
    Right Shoulder UP
    Right Forearm IN
    Right Forearm OUT
    R>
    Right Forearm IN
    Left Forearm OUT
    Left Shoulder UP
    Left Forearm IN
    Left Forearm OUT
    L>
    Select – Select – HIGHFIVE
    After entering the command, the robot will automatically execute your comedy routine. Press STOP to end, or P> to see again. This routine will wait for someone to touch it, then the robot will offer his right hand. When the victim touches the sensor finger, the robot will pull his hand away, "retort" appropriately, then reset for the left side to await another victim.


    17 - AUTOMATIC ROBOT SENTRY
    In “Listen” mode, your Robosapien will wait for over 2 hours before getting
    bored and shutting down. You can “link in” the listen modes up to 14 times
    using the regular P program; the following is an example of how to make
    your robot “guard” a hallway for hours and always stay in place.
    Press S>
    Select – Select – LeftTurn (Strike3 on the right controller side)
    Select – Listen
    Select – Select – Stop (Roar)
    Select – Listen
    Select – Select – RightTurn (Strike3 on the left controller side)
    Select – Backwards
    STOP
    Press P
    Press S> 14 times or until the robot says “Ooo! Uh-Huh!”
    Robosapien will now enter a mode where he will wait against a wall and
    strike anything that passes by, occasionally stepping back into place against
    the wall. He will do this 42 times before finally stopping. Press STOP to
    deactivate. Press P> to play again.
    Change the S> reflex to the following for more in-your-face action.
    Press S>
    Select – Select – Stop (Roar)
    Select – Forwards
    Select – Forwards
    Select – Select – LeftTurn (Strike3 on the right controller side)
    Select – Select – RightTurn (Strike3 on the left controller side)
    Backwards
    STOP
    P>
    Robosapien will now awaken, come forward and attack, then return to his
    place at the wall.
    Many such programmes are possible.

    18 - SONG AND DANCE PROGRAMMING
    “Word to your calculator.”
    Your RoboSapien has some limited singing and dancing skills. Power on your robot, wait until he finishes his wakeup, then enter the following…
    Press P
    Select – Select - TALKBACK
    Select – R>
    Select – S>
    Select – L>
    Select – R>
    Select – S>
    Select – L>
    Select – Select - TALKBACK
    Select – R>
    Select – L>
    Select – R>
    Select – L>
    Select – R>
    Select – Select - BURP
    The robot will automatically execute an amusing short “rap” song. Press STOP to end, press P> to play again. The default reaction sounds under the R>, S>, and L> can be reconfigured a variety of ways with the RoboSapiens’ other personality noises. For example, enter the following…
    Press P
    Select – L>
    Select – L>
    Select – S>
    Select – S>
    Select – S>
    Select – L>
    Select – L>
    Select – S>
    Select – S>
    Select – S>
    Select – R>
    Select – R>
    Select – L>
    Select – Select - STOP
    The robot will automatically sing another “song”. Press STOP to end, press P> to play again.


    19 - DANCING:
    Once you have a beat you like, you can now program the reflexes with motions that will allow the robot to dance. With the last program still under the master program P, enter the following…
    Press R>
    Right Shoulder UP
    Select – LEANFWD
    Left Shoulder UP
    Select – LEANBWD
    Right Shoulder DOWN
    Left Shoulder DOWN
    Press STOP, or wait for the routine to finish, then enter the following…
    Press S>
    Select – LEANBWD
    Select – LEANFWD
    Select – LEANBWD
    Select – LEANFWD
    Left Forearm OUT
    Right Forearm OUT
    Press STOP, or wait for the routine to finish, then enter the following…
    Press L>
    Select – LEANFWD
    Tilt RIGHT
    Select – LEANBWD
    Tilt LEFT
    Right Forearm OUT
    Left Forearm OUT
    Press STOP, or wait for the routine to finish, then press P>. The robot will now go through a 40 second long dance routine. To hear your original song again without erasing your reflex dance moves, press…
    Select – P
    If you want to change the beat or length, you can change your song without affecting your dance moves by pressing P and entering a new song (like the first song above for example). In this way, you can easily enter a basic beat and edit dance moves in any pattern. Add LISTEN commands through your reflex steps to make the robot dance in beat to loud songs from your stereo. Add walk and turn commands to make him cover some dance-floor territory. Many combinations are possible. Variations are encouraged.

    20 - NINJA BOTS:
    Bought two Robosapiens but can’t get them to fight because the controllers
    are on the same frequency? Here’s a simple modification using household
    materials that allows your robot to fight, with a friend or against another
    robot in automatic mode.
    1 - Take a standard toilet-roll tube and cut it down the middle.
    2 - Squeeze it onto Robosapien’s head as shown below.
    The robot will now only be controllable from behind. Two or more robots
    can be controlled this way without interfering with each other.
    NOTE: Be sure to always point the remote directly at the back
    Robosapien’s head when playing.
    ADDITIONALS:
    1 - The right hand is designed to tightly hold on to a standard paper-roll tube without dropping it. When used in conjunction with Robosapien’s fighting moves, it makes a very satisfying “bop” noise when it connects.
    2 – Extend the range of your robot’s reception by putting tinfoil around the inside of the tube.
    3 – Print out and put a face on your tube with team names or expressions.
    4 – Use the same trick to make your Robosapien an automatic sentry who will attack any incoming aggressor (like another robot), but won’t listen to your remote from the front.
    With the tube in place, and standing behind your sentry, type in the following…
    Press S>
    Select - forward
    Select – Select – STRIKE3 (left)
    Select – Select – STRIKE3 (right)
    Select – Select – STOP
    Select – backwards
    P>
    STOP
    P
    Press S> 14 times or until Robosapien says “Ooo, Uh Huh!”
    The robot will now attack anything that touches it for up to 14 times. Press STOP to end, press P> to play again.
    Try programming S> with different fight move combinations to improve
    your robot’s skills and tactics. You can program R> and L> also.
    Have fun

    Will that do?
    Word of warning, we tested it to make sure it was sound before the big day, it took us a loooong time to get through all the safety ties, sharp scissors and wire cutters are needed for that eager child!! You have been warned!
  • I don't know about it being good if the kids are having one for christmas, my 28 year old husband will be getting one from father christmas and will be gutted when I know all these secret moves!! ;D ;D ;D Thanks for this!!! ;):) ;D :);)
    I love bargains but freebies are better!! ;-)
