3. Muntatge i muntatge
The WhalesBot system involves building and programming. Follow the specific instruction cards provided with each robot model for detailed assembly steps. General setup guidelines are as follows:
3.1 Desembalatge i identificació de components
Carefully unpack all items from the storage box. Organize the building blocks and electronic components for each robot model (A1, A3, B3 Pro) separately to facilitate assembly.
3.2 Càrrega inicial
Ensure all rechargeable robot modules are fully charged before first use. Connect the provided charging cables to the respective charging ports and a suitable USB power source. An indicator light will typically show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
3.3 Robot Assembly
Refer to the individual story-based tutorial cards for step-by-step assembly instructions for each robot. The WhalesBot system uses interlocking blocks, similar to construction toys. Ensure all connections are secure.

4. Instruccions de funcionament
Operating the WhalesBot robots involves building and programming them to perform various actions. Each robot model offers a distinct programming method.
4.1 WhalesBot A1 Operation (Magnetic Programming)
- Assemble the A1 Robot: Follow the specific tutorial cards to build your desired A1 robot configuration.
- Arrange Magnetic Blocks: Use the magnetic programming blocks to create a sequence of commands. These blocks snap together to form a program flow.
- Connecta't al robot: Place the assembled magnetic program near the A1 robot's sensor or connect it as instructed.
- Execute Program: Activate the robot to run the sequence of commands you have programmed.
4.2 WhalesBot A3 Operation (Sensor and Styling Combinations)
The A3 robot builds upon the A1's principles, incorporating more advanced sensors and styling options. Programming often involves combining specific sensor inputs with output actions. Refer to the A3 tutorial cards for detailed programming examples and challenges.
4.3 WhalesBot B3 Pro Operation (Screenless Coding)
The B3 Pro utilizes a unique screenless coding method with a coding pen and cards.
- Assemble the B3 Pro Robot: Construct the B3 Pro robot according to its dedicated tutorial cards.
- Lay Out Coding Cards: Arrange the physical coding cards in a sequence to form your program. These cards represent commands like "move forward," "turn," "repeat," etc.
- Use the Coding Pen: Use the special coding pen to scan the sequence of cards. The pen transmits the program to the B3 Pro robot.
- Execute Program: Once the program is transferred, the B3 Pro robot will execute the commands.
Always ensure the robots are on a flat, clear surface during operation to prevent damage and ensure accurate movement.
5. Manteniment i cura
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your WhalesBot coding robots.
- Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the robot components. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage electronic parts.
- Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store all components in the provided portable storage box. Keep the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cura de la bateria: For rechargeable modules, avoid overcharging or completely draining the battery frequently. Charge the batteries periodically if the robots are stored for extended periods.
- Manipulació: Handle all components with care. Avoid dropping the robots or applying excessive force during assembly and disassembly.
6. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues with your WhalesBot coding robots, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
6.1 Robot Not Responding
- Comproveu la potència: Ensure the robot's power switch is in the "ON" position and the battery is sufficiently charged.
- Recàrrega de bateria: If the battery is low, connect the robot to its charger.
- Comproveu les connexions: Verify that all building blocks and electronic modules are securely connected.
- Restablir: Turn the robot off and then on again.
6.2 Programming Errors
- Review Program Sequence: Carefully re-examine your magnetic blocks (A1) or coding cards (B3 Pro) to ensure the sequence of commands is correct and logical.
- Card/Block Placement: Ensure magnetic blocks are properly aligned and connected, and coding cards are scanned correctly by the B3 Pro pen.
- Refer to Tutorials: Consult the story-based tutorial cards for examples and guidance on correct programming logic.
6.3 Movement Issues
- Camí clar: Ensure the robot has a clear, flat surface to operate on, free from obstacles.
- Wheel/Track Obstructions: Check for any debris or hair obstructing the wheels or tracks.
- Comprovació del muntatge: Verify that all moving parts (wheels, gears) are correctly assembled and not overly tight or loose.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact WhalesBot customer support.
