Users Manual Part 2

AI-01 Back Panel Controls Remotes and robots must be on the same CHANNEL for the  robot to  respond to  remote control  commands.  There are 12 separate channels available.  The channel is defined by two pieces: the robot number (1-6) and the team number (1 or 2).   The  channel  is  displayed  on  the  LED  window  of  both remote and robot for about 2 seconds when you switch them  on.    The  yellow  LEDs  show  the  robot  number.  #1-3 on top left to right LEDs, and #4-6 on bottom.  The team number is 1 when the red LED is lit, and 2 when Green.    Note  that  remote  and  robot  come  shipped  in DEMO CHANNEL so that a robot in demo mode does not  interfere  with  robots  on  normal  channels.    DEMO channel shows as Robot 1, but Team is both 1 and 2.  TO SET CHANNEL ON THE ROBOT:  Turn off robot, then hold down both Offense and Defense play buttons and  turn  robot  power  switch  ON  while  holding  both buttons.  The channel will be displayed briefly, then after about 3 seconds a yellow LED and either a red or green LED will flash.  The robot is now in SETUP mode where you  set  the  channel.    Press  the  Offense  button  to change  the  robot  number,  and  Defense  button  to change team number.  When you have set the channel that you want, press both buttons at the same time and hold  for  about  3  seconds.    LEDs  stop  flashing  when robot exits setup mode.  TO SET CHANNEL ON THE REMOTE:  Similar to the robot.  Turn off remote, but now hold down the SWITCH and  THROW  buttons.    Use  SWITCH  to  change  robot number setting.  THROW changes team number.  Press and hold both for 3 seconds to lock in your channel.    Once you have set robot and remote channel, set the robot's MODE selector.  If you want to have one robot a receiver running a play, and  one  robot  a  QB  that  throws  a  pass,  set  QB  to MODE A, and receiver to MODE B. Have you ever wanted to practice your passing but had no one to practice with?  With the AI-01, this problem is solved.  The AI-01 has an  AUTONOMOUS mode that allows you to select a play pattern to run on one robot, which it does by itself with no direction, while you control the quarterback robot by remote.  There  are  four  things  you  must  understand  to  control more than one robot: the MODE selector switch on the robot,  the  robot/remote  CHANNEL,  the  robot  PLAYS, and  the  remote  control  use  of  SWITCH  and    HIKE buttons.  The  MODE  selector  on  the  robot's  back  panel  is  a  3 position switch.  The positions are A, B, and X. Used to control 1 robot on one channel  1 robot under remote control, 1 (or more) acting autonomously. And you can change which robot is under remote control at will.  Used to set robot(s) to only run autonomous instructions. Mode X robots ignore remote commands except HIKE. Remote only Mixed remote and autonomous Autonomous only Now that you have the robot and remote set up, it's time to run some PLAYS.  On the robot's back panel there are  displayed  the  preprogrammed  play  patterns  avail-able.  There  are 6 offensive  patterns  and  2 defensive patterns.    Offensive  Plays:  Fly,  Button-hook,  Slant  Left,  Ladder Right, Ladder Left, and Slant Right.  When in offensive patterns, the robot will attempt to evade another robot if it detects one in the path.  Defensive Play: Close and Scan (runs forward a short distance then scans for an opponent) or Zone (stay in a zone  scanning  for  opponent).    If  another  robot  is detected in defensive mode, robot will move to tackle.  Select Offensive plays by pressing the Offense button.  Pressing  Defense  button  toggles  between  defense patterns.  On the remote, the HIKE button starts and stops a play.  When in play, the red or green LED on remote will flash to indicate that play is in progress. A steady LED means that you are in huddle.    A  robot  in  MODE  B  will  execute  an  autonomous  play when  you  press  HIKE,  while  robot  in  MODE  A  will respond to Joystick and other button controls.  Pressing SWITCH  (for  instance,  if  you  complete  a  pass  to  a receiver robot in MODE B) changes control to Robot B, and Robot A then executes its autonomous play.  When in Robot A command mode, the remote's red LED will be on (and flashing if play has been started).  The green LED is on if in Robot B command mode. With practice this becomes easy.
