3. Opsætning og montering

This kit is designed for easy construction. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the building guide to assemble your robot. The process involves constructing the cams, connecting the spring-powered mechanism, and attaching the pre-made exterior. You can also create your own custom body parts for a unique look.

Vigtige monteringstrin:

1. Construct the main chassis using the wooden side, foot, bottom, and back pieces.
2. Integrate the motor and battery pack, ensuring correct wiring.
3. Assemble the spring-powered mechanism, including the cams and springs, which are crucial for the robot's jumping action.
4. Attach the robot's body, head, and arms, customizing them as desired.
5. Once assembled, place your robot on a flat surface and activate the switch to observe its jumping motion.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

The Jumping Robot is designed to demonstrate principles of physics and engineering through interactive play. Once assembled, you can experiment with its movements and customize its appearance.

Sådan virker det:

The robot utilizes a spring-powered mechanism. When activated, the cams extend and release the spring, launching the robot into the air. You can experiment with different angles and adjustments to observe how they affect the robot's jump height and distance.

5. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KiwiCo Jumping Robot, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Rensning: Gently wipe down the robot's exterior with a dry or slightly damp klæde. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller slibende materialer.
• Opbevaring: Store the robot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
• Batteripleje: Remove the 9V battery if the robot will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage and corrosion.
• Komponentkontrol: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle forbindelser og bevægelige dele for at sikre, at de er sikre og fungerer korrekt.

6. Fejlfinding

If your Jumping Robot is not functioning as expected, consider these common issues and solutions:

Robot Not Jumping/Moving:

• Batterikontrol: Ensure the 9V battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Ledningsføring: A common issue is incorrect wiring of the motor. Double-check that the red and black wires from the battery pack are connected to the corresponding terminals on the motor as per the instructions. If the robot moves backward or not at all, try reversing the wire connections.
• Mechanism Obstruction: Verify that no parts are obstructing the movement of the cams or springs. Ensure all pieces are securely attached and aligned.
• Kontaktposition: Bekræft, at tænd/sluk-knappen er i 'ON'-positionen.

If issues persist, refer to the detailed building guide for step-by-step visual instructions or contact KiwiCo customer support.
