Introduction

Hi friend! Ottobot is an inquisitive little robot who
wants to be your friend while seeing and doing
everything! He loves to walk around and
explore almost as much as he enjoys
playing with you. Ottobot features
a full array of sensors that allow
him to see the world and interact
with you. He is completely
independent and navigates around
his surroundings. Although he tries
to be, Ottobot is not perfect and
some surfaces may interfere with
his sensors, causing them to fail.
While you and Ottobot are
learning his limitations it is
recommended that you
stay close and prevent him
from getting into situations
where he might get hurt.

TMTM

Ottobot can walk on most surfaces but works best on
hard flat surfaces and short carpeting. Ottobot is always
willing to try anything, but you may wish to keep him
in areas where you know he will be safe.

About Ottobot

Ottobot can’t wait to be your friend, but before you

can play with him, he will first need batteries. After

following the simple battery instructions below (see

Battery Installation), Ottobot will be ready to meet

you and participate in fun games and activities. Be

sure to read all the way through these instructions

to learn the best way to play with Ottobot and

fix most problems. But here are a few quick

pointers to allow you to get started and play

right away.

TMTM

Ottobot loves to play and has an array of buttons and sensors
that allow him to interact and respond to you. Activating any of
these sensors will start Ottobot and he will respond and invite
you to play. Following is a detailed list of Ottobot’s features and
where they are located.

Quick start Instructions

Ottobot is a very independent little robot and will often speak,

invite you to play games or walk around exploring all by himself.
But he loves to interact with you and these simple tips will help
you quickly learn how to play with him. Ottobot will respond to
any of his sensors being activated and will try to figure out what
you would like to do. So play around with triggering the following
sensors so you and Ottobot can get used to each other.

Hand Sensors

Pressing Ottobot’s thumb lets him know that you are holding his
hands. This makes Ottobot happy as it shows that you are friends.

Answering Yes or No

Ottobot communicates with you through speech but he needs you

to activate his sensors to know what you wish. Ottobot may ask
you if you want to play a game. If you do, press his left-hand
thumb for Yes . (It is Ottobot’s left hand, not yours, and is marked
with a “Y”.) If you do not want to play, press his right hand for

NO. (Ottobot’s right hand is marked with an “N”.)

Sound Detector

Ottobot will respond to loud noises and loves them, often joining

in with his own noises.

Light Sensor

Ottobot can tell whether it is light or dark and will respond

accordingly. By covering and uncovering his light sensor Ottobot
will know that you wish to play.

Tilt Sensor

This sensor helps Ottobot know when you are holding him or moving
him around. Ottobot enjoys this as he assumes you are taking him
someplace new to explore.

Invert Sensor

With this sensor Ottobot is able to tell when he
is upside down. Ottobot enjoys hanging upside
down and will laugh and ask for more until
he becomes dizzy. This also wakes Ottobot
up if he has gone to sleep and ends any
games that you may no longer wish to play.

Control Panel

There are four colored buttons on the top of
Ottobot’s head, which is his Control Panel.
These are used for many of his games and
can be used to start them as well. But
be careful, pressing these buttons tickles.

Games and activities

You can quickly activate things to play
with Ottobot by using the control panel
buttons on the top of his head to activate
the Game and Activity menus. By pressing
the red button 3 times you will access the
Games menu, where Ottobot will prompt
you to choose from 4 different games by
pressing the corresponding colored button.
