5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the building blocks and electronic components. Avoid using water, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials and electronics.
• Storage: Store the kit in its original packaging or a designated container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep small parts organized to prevent loss and facilitate future assembly.
• Battery Care: To maintain the lifespan of the rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, recharge it regularly, even if the robot is not in active use. Avoid overcharging the battery.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all assembled models and individual pieces for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace any damaged parts as necessary to ensure safe and proper operation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Robot Not Moving:
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed in the main control unit.
  • Verify that the remote control or mobile app is properly connected and within the operational range (up to 30 meters).
  • Check for any physical obstructions in the robot's tracks, wheels, or moving parts.
• Remote Control / App Not Connecting:
  • Confirm that the robot's main control unit is powered on.
  • Restart both the robot and the control device (remote control or smartphone/tablet).
  • If using the remote control, check and replace its batteries if necessary.
  • If using the app, ensure it is updated to the latest version and your device's Bluetooth is enabled.
• Building Pieces Not Fitting:
  • Double-check the instruction manual to ensure the correct pieces are being used for the current assembly step.
  • Apply gentle, even pressure when connecting pieces. Avoid forcing them, as this may cause damage.
