SetupHow to use the Remote Control How to Throw a Pass Setting Up the Robot to be a Receiver / Lineman Switch on the remote control’s power button. Don’t touch the joystick while turning on the remote. This will cause the remote (and robot) to malfunction until you turn off/turn on again. Turn on the robot using the power switch on the robot’s back panel. You will see lights come on and the robot will say “RFL”. Remote battery insertion: place 4 AAA batteries into the remote compartment on back of remote. Place the included traction bands onto wheels com- pletely as shown. Insert battery with cable arranged to side as shown. Connect battery cable to robot’s power cable. To insert battery: lay robot face-down and remove battery key by pushing it toward the robot’s head and then pulling it out. JOYSTICK - drives the robot forward, backward, and turns. Joystick control is PROPORTIONAL. This means the further you push the joystick in one direction, the FASTER it goes. Small motions on the joystick get small controlled motions on the robot. BURST button - when you hold down this button, the robot drives at BURST speed (about 2x normal speed). HIKE - used to start a play when using two or more robots (see Advanced Operation section). THROW - press this key to use the throwing arm. Press, hold, then release to throw. The longer you hold the button down, the longer the throw. A brief touch of the button makes a short throw. Press and hold for 2 seconds and it throws automatically at longest range. As you hold down the THROW button, LEDs light up on the remote. This shows the power of the throw. The more LEDs that light up, the more powerful the throw. SWITCH - press this button to change remote control between multiple robots (see Advanced Operation section). Load the ball onto the throwing hand as shown. Note that the ball fits between the two fingers. Then just press the THROW button on the remote. Remember to hold down the throw button longer before releasing to throw farther. Slide the claw hands and the receiver plate onto the arms and fasten with screws. Install the shoulder bolt into the center hole of the robot's right arm, then remove the 2 outside screws. You cannot use the receiver hands if the 2 outside screws are left in. Remove the screws from the QB hand pieces. Remove the hand pieces and store them. UP and DOWN arm buttons - raises and lowers the non-throwing arm (left side arm). The non- throwing arm will rotate through about 180 degrees. The robot comes with a 9.6V rechargable battery pack. This should be fully charged before use. The robot will run best on a level surface like a wood floor or short carpet. The four casters allow the robot to drive over cracks easily. Joystick Switch Throw Hike Burst Power Switch Up Down Do not operate the robot if the battery is hot. Allow battery to cool down before operating.

AI-01 Back Panel Controls Remotes and robots must be on the same CHANNEL for the robot to respond to remote control commands. There are 12 separate channels available. The channel is defined by two pieces: the robot number (1-6) and the team number (1 or 2). The channel is displayed on the LED window of both remote and robot for about 2 seconds when you switch them on. The yellow LEDs show the robot number. #1-3 on top left to right LEDs, and #4-6 on bottom. The team number is 1 when the red LED is lit, and 2 when Green. Note that remote and robot come shipped in DEMO CHANNEL so that a robot in demo mode does not interfere with robots on normal channels. DEMO channel shows as Robot 1, but Team is both 1 and 2. TO SET CHANNEL ON THE ROBOT: Turn off robot, then hold down both Offense and Defense play buttons and turn robot power switch ON while holding both buttons. The channel will be displayed briefly, then after about 3 seconds a yellow LED and either a red or green LED will flash. The robot is now in SETUP mode where you set the channel. Press the Offense button to change the robot number, and Defense button to change team number. When you have set the channel that you want, press both buttons at the same time and hold for about 3 seconds. LEDs stop flashing when robot exits setup mode. TO SET CHANNEL ON THE REMOTE: Similar to the robot. Turn off remote, but now hold down the SWITCH and THROW buttons. Use SWITCH to change robot number setting. THROW changes team number. Press and hold both for 3 seconds to lock in your channel. Once you have set robot and remote channel, set the robot's MODE selector. If you want to have one robot a receiver running a play, and one robot a QB that throws a pass, set QB to MODE A, and receiver to MODE B. Have you ever wanted to practice your passing but had no one to practice with? With the AI-01, this problem is solved. The AI-01 has an AUTONOMOUS mode that allows you to select a play pattern to run on one robot, which it does by itself with no direction, while you control the quarterback robot by remote. There are four things you must understand to control more than one robot: the MODE selector switch on the robot, the robot/remote CHANNEL, the robot PLAYS, and the remote control use of SWITCH and HIKE buttons. The MODE selector on the robot's back panel is a 3 position switch. The positions are A, B, and X. Used to control 1 robot on one channel 1 robot under remote control, 1 (or more) acting autonomously. And you can change which robot is under remote control at will. Used to set robot(s) to only run autonomous instructions. Mode X robots ignore remote commands except HIKE. Remote only Mixed remote and autonomous Autonomous only Now that you have the robot and remote set up, it's time to run some PLAYS. On the robot's back panel there are displayed the preprogrammed play patterns avail- able. There are 6 offensive patterns and 2 defensive patterns. Offensive Plays: Fly, Button-hook, Slant Left, Ladder Right, Ladder Left, and Slant Right. When in offensive patterns, the robot will attempt to evade another robot if it detects one in the path. Defensive Play: Close and Scan (runs forward a short distance then scans for an opponent) or Zone (stay in a zone scanning for opponent). If another robot is detected in defensive mode, robot will move to tackle. Select Offensive plays by pressing the Offense button. Pressing Defense button toggles between defense patterns. On the remote, the HIKE button starts and stops a play. When in play, the red or green LED on remote will flash to indicate that play is in progress. A steady LED means that you are in huddle. A robot in MODE B will execute an autonomous play when you press HIKE, while robot in MODE A will respond to Joystick and other button controls. Pressing SWITCH (for instance, if you complete a pass to a receiver robot in MODE B) changes control to Robot B, and Robot A then executes its autonomous play. When in Robot A command mode, the remote's red LED will be on (and flashing if play has been started). The green LED is on if in Robot B command mode. With practice this becomes easy.

Testing was performed in 3 different orthogonal axis to determine the worst case emissions from the device. The worst case emissions measurements are shown in this report. FCC CFR47 Part 15.31: Measurement Standards: In any case where the device is powered off a battery, a fresh battery was used during test. In cases where the device is powered off an AC supply, voltage was varied per Part 15.31 to find worst case emissions. FCC CFR47 Part 15.35: Measurement Detector Functions and Bandwidths: FCC Part 15.35 was utilized when performing the measurements within this report.
