⓶ Switch KaiBot on at the back using the yellow switch.
Your KaiBot arrives with enough charge to let you start playing out of the box.
If you want to charge KaiBot, you can either use the USB cable in the box or with the autonomous charging dock (optional).

You’re now ready to code your first sequence!
You’re now ready to code your first sequence!
⓸ First, you’ll need to grab your coding cards. Your KaiBot comes with a set of basic coding cards, including cards such as Record Program Start, Turn Left etc.
Look for the following cards and lay them down in an order like this:
Hover over to see what each card does!

⓹ Next tap KaiBot on the “Record Program Start” card. This card or a “Record Function Start” card must always be scanned first.
After a successful scan, KaiBot beeps and displays the scanned card on the screen and the LED lights display white
⓺ Next lift up KaiBot, about ½” / 1cm away until the display changes to the red scan icon and the LED lights change to red also. KaiBot is now ready to scan the next card.
⓻ Repeat steps 5 and 6 and tap the Forward card and the number 2 card.
⓼ Once you have finished your program, you must scan the End program card because every beginning must have an end!
⓽ Finally, tap the Run program card.
[3] [2] [1] GO!
KaiBot will now countdown from 3. Quick! Place KaiBot on the table before the timer runs out.
Well Done!
You've completed your first coding sequence!
