The RoboWalker has a cart on which the switch for the battery box is located. Once switched on, power is sent to the motor, which drives the pulleys that turn and allow the RoboWalker to move forward.

Precautions :
- This product requires two AA batteries (not included). Remove them when you’re not using the RoboPromeneur.
- Pay attention to the orientation of the plates by looking closely at the pictures, and fit them together gently.
- To connect the wires to the motor, make sure they’re in the right position , as shown in Fig. 1, otherwise the RoboPromeneur will work backwards!
- When installing the blue pulleys , make sure that the axles face in opposite directions.
- Leave a small 1mm gap between the orange bushings and the wooden plates.

(1)
Pass the ends of the red and black wires through the copper slots on the motor, paying careful attention to the direction of connection.
To do this, connect the black wire to the motor as follows:
Insert wires into copper notch
Fold them and twist them on themselves
Repeat the same operation for the red wires.
(2)
Fit the two plates 9 onto the side of the motor.
(3)
Fit the plate 6 under the plates 9.
(4)
Fit plates 7 to the RoboWalker head.
Make sure that the connection wires pass underneath the plate 7.
(5)
Fit the second plate 6 onto plates 9 and 7.
(6)
- Front
- Back
Install the blue pulleys on the transparent rods of the motor then screw in the center of the pulley with a screw :
Make sure that the metal rods of the pulleys must face away from each other.
(7)
Install plates 10 on plates 2, as shown. Pass a heading shaft under the plate
2 and through both plates.
Then add an orange bushing to each heading shaft. Be sure to leave a small 1mm
gap between the plates and the bushings.
(8)
Fit the combined arms and legs together at the sides. The metal rod of each pulley passes through the hole in each leg of the RoboWalker. Then add an orange bushing to each rod, leaving a small gap between the plates and bushings.
(9)
Fit the plate 8 onto the top of the RoboWalker head.
(10)
Fit plates 5 to the end of the legs and screw. Glue the round foam pads under the feet.
(11)
Fit the plate 1 onto the plate 3.
Then, fit the plate 4 to the front of the cart.
Finally, fit the second plate 3 to the side.
(12)
Add an orange bushing to the axle (close to the edge).
And push the axle into the white wheel. Be sure to leave a small 1mm gap
between the orange bushing and the wheel.
(13)
Pass the axle through the holes in plates 3 of the carriage.
Place an orange bushing at the end of the axle, leaving a 1mm gap, and push in
the other wheel.
(14)
Hook the cart onto the arms using two screws on each side.
Then stick the battery box to the cart using the double-sided tape.
Finally, remove the adhesive film from behind the eyes and stick them on your
RoboWalker’s head.
Well done ! You’ve succeeded your RoboWalker
Learning with fun
Discover the RoboWalker principle: the principle of pulling, a force for progress
Imagine a powerful tractor or a strong horse pulling a cart behind it. These animals use a force called draught to move the cart forward. But did you know that this pulling force is also present in some of the mechanisms we use every day?
In our RoboWalker kit, we use the pull principle to move it forward.
So, how does it work?
The principle of pulling shows the importance of force in movement.
Whether it’s a tractor, a horse or a robot, this pulling force is used to
overcome resistance and move objects forward.
The RoboWalker has two pulleys that play an essential role in the robot’s movement. They are connected to a motor and wheels that enable it to move forward. When the motor receives electricity from the batteries, the pulleys rotate , creating a pulling force that turns the wheels, enabling the RoboWalker to move.
By learning about the principle of the draw with our RoboWalker kit, you’ll understand how forces can be used to make things happen.
Have fun experimenting and discover for yourself the power of the draw!
