**Part List

**

The robot has a water-propelling nozzle at the bottom of the swivel head. Water is first sucked in through the suction mouth at the bottom of the robot, which then goes through the filter and is discharged via the propelling nozzle. Water jetting from the nozzle propels the robot forward. Once the robot stops against an obstacle such as the pool wall, its side flap sways and its swivel head turns 180 o , allowing the robot to move in the opposite direction. The robot moves in a generally straight pattern in one direction and in an arc pattern in the other direction. The robot vacuums the pool bottom as it moves, collecting debris in its compartment.
