Cauons before use Be cauous not to apply excessive force on motor and wheels. Motor is a consumable part. When its expected life is over or a problem occurs, you will need to buy a new one to replace it. Due to the characteriscs of DC motor, the speeds of the motors on each side could be dierent. Due to the characteriscs of motor, motor speed could be changed by period of use. The warranty period for consumable parts (motor, baery, etc.) is six months. Baery is a consumable part thus its performance could decline based on users use paern. If baery life is signicantly reduced, you will be required to buy a new baery for replacement. Make sure to check how to use IN / OUTPUT extension port.
(Refer to website and educaon assistance website) If circuit is incorrectly connected to extension port, it can cause serious malfuncons or device failures. (repairing problems caused by misuse of the device will be paid repair) For Bluetooth connecon, the connecon status could be weak based on your connecon environment. The hamster robots go through movement and sensor inspecons before shipment. Thus, there could be substances such as dust on the wheels and boom of the robots. The performance and contents of the product is subject to change based on circumstances of the manufacturer. Hamster robot is a small, cute education robot for software education.

Bluetooth BLE USB dongle pairing Turn on power of the hamster robot and move it closer to the dongle. (less than 20cm between the robot and dongle). When the hamster robot makes beep sound and the Bluetooth lights on hamster robot and dongle are on or icker quickly, it is normal. When receiving data through Bluetooth connecon the light is going to icker quickly. When it is connected but not receiving any data, the light is going to be on without ickering. Aer pairing the robot and dongle in such way, for all future use the dongle will automacally nd the robot and establish the Bluetooth connecon. Therefore, there will be no need for addional pairing once inial pairing is done. To connect another hamster robot, follow the same pairing instrucon given as above. The dongle remembers only one hamster robot with the most recent pairing. Aer pairing, the hamster robot and dongle will exchange data even if they are far away. The pairing can only be done when Hamster robot and dongle are in close range thus you cannot use many robots and dongles at the same me in a classroom environment.

Types of AI mode 1. Hand (object) detecon mode (green LED light is on in the front)
-
The hamster robot will perceive hand or object in the front. 2. Line (oor) sensor mode (red LED light is on in the front)
-
The robot will move by detecng black or white line on the oor. The robot will follow the black line while trying to not to deviate from the line. 3. Singing mode (blue LED light is on in the front)

-
-
When the robot rst enters into AI mode, it enters into hand detecon mode. When the hamster robot is pushed from the top or it detects shaking movement, the AI mode is going to be switched to oor sensor mode. If you hold the hamster robot turned upside down, it will be switched to singing mode. If you hold the hamster robot in the right posion, it will be switched back to hand detecon mode. The AI modes are subject to change based on the circumstances of the manufacturer.
