Operating Instructions
Screen-Free Coding with Pen and Cards
The WhalesBot B3 Pro introduces an innovative screen-free coding method. Users arrange physical coding cards in a sequence to create a program. The coding pen is then used to scan these cards, transferring the instructions to the robot.
Building Models and Fostering Creativity
The B3 Pro kit provides components and detailed instructions within three printed storybooks to assemble up to 24 diverse robot models. These storybooks guide children through engaging coding journeys, encouraging them to build and experiment.
Beyond the guided models, the true magic unfolds when children apply their boundless imagination to craft entirely unique creations. This fosters creativity, critical thinking, and advanced problem-solving skills.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WhalesBot B3 Pro kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down all components with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
