Introduction
Thank you for choosing the K96228 5-in-1 Programming Robot Building Blocks set. This educational STEM toy allows you to construct five different robot models from a single set of building blocks, fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of robotics and programming. The robots can be controlled via a 2.4GHz remote control or a dedicated mobile application, offering various interactive modes including gyroscope, path, and graphical programming.
What's in the Box
Please verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:
- Building Blocks (approx. 373 pieces)
- Main Control Unit
- LED Eyes (Digital Display)
- 2.4GHz Remote Control
- USB Charging Cable
- Instruction Manual (physical)
Assembly
The K96228 set allows for the construction of five distinct robot models. Refer to the included physical instruction manual for detailed, step-by-step assembly guides for each model. Ensure all connections are secure and blocks are firmly pressed together to ensure proper functionality and stability of the robot.
The assembly process is designed to be engaging and educational, promoting fine motor skills and spatial reasoning. Parental supervision is recommended for younger users (recommended age 14+).
Charging the Robot
The main control unit of the robot is powered by a rechargeable battery. Use the provided USB charging cable to charge the unit. Connect the USB cable to the main control unit and a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). An indicator light on the main control unit will typically show the charging status.
- Ensure the main control unit is turned off during charging.
- Do not use damaged charging cables or power sources.
Mobile Application Installation
To unlock advanced control and programming features, download the dedicated mobile application. Search for the official 'wishiot' or 'Robots Pro' app in your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS). Follow the on-screen instructions to install the app.
- Ensure your mobile device meets the minimum system requirements for the app.
- Enable Bluetooth on your device to connect to the robot.
Operating Modes
The K96228 robot offers multiple ways to interact and control its movements:
2.4GHz Remote Control
Use the included physical remote control for direct, responsive command over your robot. Refer to the remote control's specific instructions for button functions (e.g., forward, backward, turn left, turn right).
Mobile App Control
Connect your robot to the mobile application via Bluetooth for enhanced control options.
Gyroscope Mode
In gyroscope mode, you can control the robot's movement by tilting your mobile device. The robot will mimic the direction of your phone's tilt, providing an intuitive driving experience.
Path Mode
The path mode allows you to draw a custom path directly on your mobile device's screen. The robot will then follow this drawn trajectory, executing the sequence of movements you've defined.
Programming Mode
Engage in graphical programming using a drag-and-drop block-based interface within the app. This mode allows users to create complex sequences of actions, teaching fundamental programming concepts.
Customizing LED Eyes
The robot's LED eyes feature a digital display that can be customized to show various expressions and patterns. Use the mobile application to select or create different visual effects for the eyes, adding personality to your robot.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the blocks and robot components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the building blocks and assembled robots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage.
- Battery Care: Do not overcharge the main control unit. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50% and recharge every few months.
Troubleshooting
- Robot not responding to controls:
- Check if the main control unit is powered on and fully charged. Ensure the remote control or mobile app is properly connected via Bluetooth. Verify that the remote control has fresh batteries.
- Robot moves erratically or not as expected:
- Ensure all building blocks are securely connected and there are no loose parts. Check the tracks for any obstructions. If using the app, recalibrate the gyroscope or re-draw the path.
- App connection issues:
- Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the robot's main control unit is within range. Try restarting both the app and the robot.
User Tips
- When assembling, organize your blocks by type and color to make the process smoother.
- For programming, start with simple commands and gradually build up to more complex sequences.
- Experiment with different LED eye expressions to give your robot a unique personality.
- Always ensure all connections are firm after assembly to prevent parts from detaching during operation.
