6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Powering On/Off
Once assembled and charged, locate the power button on the main robot body (refer to Figure 5.1). Press the button to turn the robot on. Press it again to turn the robot off.
6.2 Movement and Control
The robot's movement is controlled by its internal motor and gear system. Depending on the model built, the robot will move forward or perform specific actions. Some models may have additional features or movements detailed in their specific assembly instructions.
6.3 Land and Water Operation
For land-based robots, ensure operation on a flat, clear surface. For water-faring robots, use in shallow, still water. Always ensure the water-resistant seals are properly in place before placing the robot in water. Avoid saltwater or chlorinated water, as these can damage components over time.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the robot parts with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge non-waterproof parts in water.
- Storage: Store the robot and its components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, it is advisable to disassemble the robot and store parts in their original packaging or a suitable container.
- Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly, even if not in use, to maintain its lifespan. Avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery.
- Gear Inspection: Periodically check gears for any debris or misalignment that might hinder movement. Clean or adjust as necessary.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Robot does not move. | Battery is low or uncharged. Power switch is off. Gears are jammed or loose. | Charge the battery. Ensure the power switch is on. Check for obstructions in gears; reassemble gears if loose. |
| Robot moves slowly or inconsistently. | Low battery. Incorrect assembly. Friction from external factors. | Recharge the battery. Review assembly steps for errors. Ensure operating surface is smooth and clear. |
| Parts do not fit together. | Incorrect part selection. Misalignment. | Double-check the instruction manual for the correct parts and orientation. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force parts. |
