Tilt and invert
Ottobot uses these special sensors to orient
himself. The tilt sensor allows Ottobot to
know that you have picked him up when he
is moved. Ottobot enjoys being held and
brought to new places faster than his little
legs can normally carry him. Ottobot also
enjoys to be held upside down, which triggers
his Invert sensor. Being held upside down
makes Ottobot laugh and giggle until he gets
dizzy. Another important action the Invert
sensor performs is canceling out of games
you are finished playing and waking Ottobot
up when he goes to sleep. If Ottobot fails
to respond to button presses, he has most
likely gone to sleep. Turn him upside
down and he should wake up and be
ready to respond. If this fails to work,
slide the power switch off and on
again. It is always a good idea to turn
Ottobot upside down after powering
him on and off as sometimes he may
still be sleeping and remain unresponsive
even though the power is on.
Control Panel
Located on the top of Ottobot’s head are
four colored buttons that make up his
control panel. This is Ottobot’s most
useful sensor as it allows you to choose
and play many different games. It is
very easy to access any game or activity
that you would like to play by pressing the
red or green buttons three times. Ottobot will
then ask you what game you would like to play, allowing you to
choose from 4 different choices linked directly to a color. Many
times Ottobot will offer up games to play while interacting with
him, but the control panel allows you to easily choose games you
wish to play. Choose your favorite and have fun!
Hands
Hidden in each of Ottobot’s hands
are sensors that you can activate
by pressing the thumb in towards
his hand. This is your way of
answering Ottobot’s questions by
activating Ottobot’s left hand for
“yes” (marked with a “Y”) and
his right hand for “no” (marked with a
“N”). Pressing his hand also lets Ottobot
know that you are ready for the next
part of his joke or riddle. Even when
not playing a game or answering a
question Ottobot enjoys when you hold his
hands as it lets him know you are his friend.
