Troubleshooting
KaiBot is not coming on when I switch him on .
What you killed poor KaiBot? Only kidding, his battery is most likely completely drained. Use the included
USB to micro USB cable and directly plug in the cable at the back of KaiBot, then plug the USB cable into
a powered USB port, like one to charge your phone. He might try and turn it on a few times, just leave him
and he’ll soon be back to normal. Once you see the full 4 bars on the screen, go ahead and unplug him.
When I move from one card to the next card, it doesn't scan the card .
You’ll need to lift up KaiBot until he displays the red scan screen, before scanning the next card.
If you printed out your own cards, then these won’t have the magic dust from New Zealand on them and
unfortunately, KaiBot will not be able to read them. You must have the official coding cards that come with
KaiBot or have the Advanced set of coding cards.
Can I print my own cards out and will KaiBot read them.
KaiBot is one special robot and can do amazing things, but without a coating of Magic New Zealand dust
on the cards, he won’t be able to read them. You must have the official coding cards that come with
KaiBot or have the Advanced set of coding cards.
Why does KaiBot not drive or turn in a straight line?
Have you ever slipped on a banana skin, no, well I don’t recommend it. KaiBot has to deal with wheel
slippage all day long, this is a common thing for cars and robots. If you use KaiBot on the Magnetic
Kai-Tiles, he can counteract and correct any wheel slippage by reading the x and y position that KaiBot
reads from the tiles.
When I place KaiBot perfectly in the centre of a Kai-Tile, its x & y reading is
offset by about 8 points?
