Pro-Bot®

Pro-Bot® is a programmable floor robot designed for more advanced control

techniques. It is ideal progression from the TTS Bee-Bot® (TTS Code - EL00363). Pro-Bot

can be used simply by programming arrows or inputting more complex commands

and procedures. Built-in light, touch and sound sensors” (x2) and the ability to add a

pen to the device so that Pro-Bot can draw its own route. There are also four locator

points on the body so that K’Nex can be used to build frames.

Also available is Probotix software (TTS Code - EL00477) which allows children to

create their Pro-Bot program using the software and then transfer to the robot using

a USB connection. Similarly programs created on the Pro-Bot can be transferred to the

software. See www.tts-shopping.com for more information.

Important Information

Please read all instructions carefully before use.

Please retain all instructions for future reference.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Care & Maintenance of Pro-Bot

To clean, wipe the Pro-Bot gently with a clean, damp cloth.

Keep the Pro-Bot away from direct sunlight and heat.

Do not allow the Pro-Bot to come into contact with water or other liquids.

In the event of static, your Pro-Bot may malfunction or lose memory: in this

case, insert a paper-clip or similar into the reset hole located near the On/Off

Switch to reset the Pro-Bot.

The normal function of the product may be disturbed by strong Electro

Magnetic Interference. If so, simply reset the product to resume normal

operation by following the instructions in the user guide. In the event that

the function does not resume, please use the product in other location.

Battery Precautions

Use a 3V CR2032 battery (included) for back-up. This will need replacing approximately

once per year or more often if Pro-Bot is left discharged.

On first use, fully charge before inserting the backup battery.

Only use the recommended or equivalent type batteries.

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.

Always dispose of old batteries safely.

Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged by an adult.

Manually examine for damage the plug enclosure and other parts. In the event of any

damage, the toy and charger must not be used until the damage has been repaired.

Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.

Batteries are to be inserted with correct polarity.

Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.

Recharging your Pro-Bot

Insert the USB cable into the charging socket on the rear of your Pro-Bot.

Connect the other end to a spare USB port on a PC or laptop. Alternatively, connect to a

USB charging plug.

If you have the Pro-Bot docking station, then place the Pro-Bot into the docking station

and connect the power cable.

The green LED in the left eye will turn on to show that the Pro-Bot battery is charging.

The green LED in the left eye switches off when the Pro-Bot is fully charged

It may take up to 2 hours to fully charge the Pro-Bot if the battery has been fully

discharged.

Once fully charged your Pro-Bot will have approx. 8 hours of normal usage, approx. 2 hours

when in continuous use.

Battery life will be extended if the battery is recharged when power is low rather than

allowing battery to become completely exhausted.

Always fully charge your Pro-Bot before storing for long periods. It is strongly reccomended

that the Pro-Bot is recharged every six months.

Installing the Battery in Pro-Bot

On first use, fully charge before inserting the backup battery.

Ensure the power slide switch is set to “OFF”.

Use a cross head screwdriver to remove the backup battery cover.

Remove an exhausted battery by moving spring clip sideways.

Insert the battery with the +ve sign uppermost.

Close the cover and tighten the screw.

Pro-Bot Basics – A Program

By default, pressing a or moves the Pro-Bot 25cm and pressing the or

rotates 90º. Pro-Bot’s memory can hold over 200 steps, making it possible to

create longer and more complex program sequences.

Here’s a sample program to get you started. After entering the following

commands press and the Pro-Bot will trace out a square with 25cm

sides

When writing programs on the Pro-Bot, the short form of the program commands is

displayed on the LCD screen of the Pro-Bot:

TIP: If you want to stop the Pro-Bot when it is going, press the key again.

In a programming language, such as Logo, a program is

a sequence of commands that are executed in the order

specified. With the Pro-Bot, like the multi-award winning

Bee-Bot®, a simple program can be developed using only

the four arrow keys. Surprisingly complex and extended

sequences can be created without requiring any other keys.

Editing Your Program

One of the great strengths of the Pro-Bot is its ability to edit the programs using the

built-in LCD. Use the scroll keys above the display to move the cursor up and down the

list of commands.

To insert a command in between two commands, move the cursor onto the command

you want to insert after, then type the new command.

TIP: To insert in front of the first command of a program, move the cursor to the very

top of the display (above the first command).

To delete a command, press the key.

Pressing will only delete the last key pressed on each line.

TIP: To delete the whole program or individual procedures, hold the key down

for 3 seconds and select the required option using the scroll keys and key to

confirm.

Repeat Loops

Clearly, typing those 8 commands in to draw a square is a very inefficient use of time

and can be confusing to students. What we actually want the Pro-Bot to do is draw one

side of the square, then turn 90º, and do that four times.

Of course, Pro-Bot can do that for you. Just tell it to repeat the two commands four

times. Use the key to start this, then a number specifying how many repeats are

required, then your command list, and finally the key to finish the sequence. Pro-

Bot will repeat all commands between these two keys as many times as you specify.

For instance, to draw a 25cm square, press the following keys:

Notice that Pro-Bot changes the order slightly on the display. This is to conform better

to the Logo language specification whilst minimising the number of keys that need to

be pressed. With only five key presses, we have made a much simpler program that can

easily be modified to create other regular shapes.

TIP: If the number after the key is omitted, the loop will be executed 255 times.

Different Step Lengths and Angles

Pro-Bot is not limited to 25cm steps and 90º turns. To go different distances and

angles, simply use the same commands you are used to but add the number of cm or

degrees afterwards. For instance, to move 37cm forward, press:

To turn Pro-Bot left by 30º, press:

Using the number keys and the repeat loops, we can make Pro-Bot trace out more

complex regular polygons, using the same program structure as before, but with

changed numbers and 5cm sides. For instance:

TIP: To work out how many degrees to turn, divide 360 by the number of sides in the

polygon. So a nine sided nonagon would need to turn by 360/9 = 40º at each

step.
