Setup

1. Download the Botzees EDU App

The Botzees experience is powered by the Botzees EDU app, available for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire devices. Ensure your device meets the compatibility requirements:

• iOS: iOS 12+ devices that support ARKit (e.g., iPhone 6s and above, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air (3rd generation), iPad (5th and 6th generation), iPad mini (5th generation)).
• Android: Android 8+ devices that support ARCore.
• Amazon Fire: 2014 and newer versions.

Search for "BOTZEES EDU" on the App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore to download. For optimal experience, close all other apps before launching.

2. Charge the Main Control Block

The Main Control Block is the brain of your Botzees robot and must be charged prior to first use. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the Main Control Block and a power source.

When the block is charging, a red light will show. Once it's fully charged, the light will turn green.

3. Connect to Bluetooth

After charging, turn on your Main Control Block. The Botzees AR app will automatically attempt to connect to your Bluetooth device. You will hear a chime when connected. For sound synchronization, head to your device's Bluetooth options and select the "BlockBot_Audio" option from the screen. Once the audio has been synced, a speaker icon will appear on your screen, indicating successful connection.

Operating

General Operation: Create, Program, Play

The core of the Botzees experience revolves around three simple steps: Create, Program, and Play. Children can build various robot designs, program their movements and actions using the intuitive app interface, and then watch their creations come to life.

Coding and Play Examples

Christmas Tree Coding

Program your Botzees robot to draw a Christmas tree. First, imagine a Christmas tree in your mind. Then, create a program in the app that allows Botzees to draw the tree by moving and drawing lines. Once the drawing is complete, you can decorate your Christmas tree!

Floor Cleaning Robotics

Learn how to make your Botzees robot sweep the floor and avoid obstacles. Start programming by using the motor and sensor to make the robot sweep while moving forwards. Customize the movements and then try it out!

Motion Sensor Activated Trash Can

Create a motion sensor-activated trash can using your Botzees. Design a program that makes the motors and sensor work together. Adjust the values and parameters, then run your program. The robot will open its lid when motion is detected.

Shoot a Ball

Program your Botzees to shoot a ball. Adjust your shooting mechanics in the app by programming the movements. You can also adjust the projection angles by adding or removing blocks to change the launch angle, which will adjust the stone's distance.

Catapult Programming

Learn to program a catapult with Botzees. Program the catapult's movement first, then program lights and sounds. Don't forget to place the stone before launching. You can adjust the launch angle by adding or removing blocks to change the stone's distance.

Delivery Truck - Strategy Game

Engage in a strategy game by programming your Botzees Delivery Truck to deliver bricks to an assigned area. Visualize the path, then program and customize the movements. You can try delivering multiple bricks or navigating more complex paths.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BOTZEES Classic Plus Coding Robots, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the blocks and electronic components with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on electronic parts.
• Storage: Store all components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the blocks organized in their original packaging or a suitable storage container to prevent loss.
• Battery Care: Fully charge the Main Control Block before long periods of storage to maintain battery health. Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery frequently.
• Component Inspection: Periodically check all parts for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any broken or worn-out pieces to ensure safe and proper function.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BOTZEES Classic Plus Coding Robots, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Robot Not Responding: Ensure the Main Control Block is fully charged and powered on. Verify that the Bluetooth connection between the robot and your device is active and stable. Try restarting both the app and the Main Control Block.
• App Connectivity Issues: Check your device's Bluetooth settings to ensure it's enabled and connected to the correct Botzees device. Make sure your device's operating system is updated to the latest version. Close other background applications that might interfere with the app's performance.
• Robot Not Moving as Programmed: Double-check your coding sequence in the app for any errors or incorrect parameters. Ensure all motors and sensors are correctly attached to the Main Control Block.
• Sound Issues: Confirm that the "BlockBot_Audio" option is selected in your device's Bluetooth settings for sound output. Check your device's volume settings.
• Missing Parts: Refer to the "List of Parts" section to confirm all components are present. If any parts are missing upon unboxing, please contact customer support.
