NOTES:

You can play back your program at anytime by giving the voice command, “• Execute Program”

when Joebot is in the Main Menu.

When you enter commands in a new Program Mode, any saved program is replaced with your new program.•

In Program Mode, the Forward Slow walk does not use his vision sensors. Instead, he will walk •

slowly eight steps forward.

Program.Playback

If there is a program stored in memory, he will play it back. Otherwise he will just remind you that

his “brain is empty”!

To play back a saved program:

Use a voice command such as, “• Execute program”. Joebot will conrm with a phrase and

then play any saved program back.

To play the program again, repeat the same voice command.

FAQs

This section lists some frequently asked questions about Joebot.

Q: Joebot doesn’t seem to move well on carpeting... What’s wrong?

A: Joebot is designed to move on smooth, clean surfaces or on low-pile carpeting. Avoid making

him move on soft or uneven surfaces, nor on thick pile carpets. Try placing him on a smoother

surface. If he continues to fall over, try switching him to his Forward Slow walk.

Q:.Why does he sometimes record the beat I tap out wrong?

A:.Make sure you tap out a rhythm using sharp sounds within 1.5 feet (50 cm) of his head. Try

different ways of making loud and soft sounds (for example, clapping, tapping with pencils, or

drumsticks on a table) to determine what sounds he can distinguish. You might need to practice to

get it right!

Q:.Why does he seem to react when there’s nothing around?

A: Joebot’s IR sensors are based on reection. He can see highly reective surfaces, such as white

walls or mirrors more easily and from greater distances than matte or black surfaces, dimmed

uorescent lighting or computers, his IR sensors might detect these signals as commands. Play with

him away from these light sources and he should behave normally.

Q:.Why doesn’t Joebot have a remote controller?

A:.You can control Joebot using voice command controls and his hand controls! However, if you

have an original WowWee™ Robosapien™ remote controller (sold separately) you can use it to

control Joebot! Try using the remote controller to control Joebot and Robosapien together — or

separately — for interactive routines!
