This will also happen if you leave him standing with his head facing a wall.obstaCle aVoidanCeRoboraptor Blue™ uses his Vision Sensors to avoid obstacles while wandering around. While walking he will not be able to detect movement so he will react to you as if you are an obstacle. Press the “Stop” button before trying to interact with him. Roboraptor Blue™’s Infrared Vision System is based on reection. This means that he can see highly reective surfaces like white walls or mirrors more easily and at greater distances.undeRstandinG youR RoboRaptoR blue™Roboraptor Blue™ walks best on smooth surfaces. Use the two faster walking speeds on rough surfaces like carpets. Roboraptor Blue™ responds to remote control commands more easily when you are in front of him.
