Ozobot - Getting Started Guide Page 4 of 4
 CLEAR SLEEVE:
You can use a clear sleeve to protect pre-printed maps, mazes and challenges
o Calibrate the Ozobot to the clear sleeve (place the calibration dot under the sleeve)
o Use the sleeve to hold codes in place in place of sticky tape
o Use the Ozobot on the outside of the sleeve
 STICKY DOTS
You can use sticky dots over the lines to add code
o Dots must be at least 5mm in diameter – 8mm works
o Check the colours will work
CODE QUIRKS
Several of the codes will work in either direction the Ozobot reads them. These are:
o Zig Zag  Backwalk
o Tornado Spin
o Snail Nitro
NOTE: The speed the Ozobot is traveling may affect the Ozobot reading code
TINKERING
Sometimes the Ozobot does not do what you are expecting – how do you manage this?
Trial and error
o Try again
o What is different?
o Do you need to recalibrate?
o Does the Ozobot need to be charged?
o Check the Quick Tips – lines, curves, codes, colour?
o Make a register and check with other Ozobots
An important part of learning and understanding a new skill is making errors. It is okay not to know
the answer. Check with other members of the group:
o Have they had a similar problem?
o How did they fix it?
o Can you Google it?
