sequence. Cooper moves forward along the line—singing, talking, or
whistling all the while!—until it no longer detects the line or the power
is turned off. If Cooper runs off the line, it will spin in place until finding
the line again, or it will revert to a prior code sequence. Press the button
again to turn off black-line following.
Note: You can engage all three sensors individually (one at a time) or all at
once! Try different commands for Cooper and experiment with multi-
sensor navigation!
Communication Mode
Cooper can "talk" and engage with other Coopers. Just like in the real
world, communication and collaboration are important to finishing tasks
and achieving goals. Press the bottom button on the back of one or
more Cooper robots to enter Communication Mode. Now the robots can
communicate with each other!
Here are a few special codes to try. Each one will let Cooper 1 (the first
robot) talk to other Coopers. The codes only need to be entered on
Cooper 1. If both robots are in communication mode and facing each
other (less than 12" away), they will begin to talk, dance, giggle, play
catch, or even follow commands!

Look for other fun, hidden codes and features! Cooper is full of surprises!
When finished with Communication Mode, press GO again to toggle this
mode OFF.
Coding Cards
Use the coding cards to track each step in your code. Each card features
a direction or "step" to program into Cooper. These cards are color-
coordinated to represent each direction or action, and fit together for a
visual representation of the code sequence.

Troubleshooting
If you hear a negative sound after pressing the GO button, try the
following:
• Check the lighting. Bright light can affect the way Cooper works.
• Each Cooper can be programmed a maximum of 100 steps. Be sure
a programmed sequence is 100 steps or fewer.
• Your Cooper will get sleepy after 5 minutes if left idle. Slide the
POWER switch to OFF, then ON to wake it up. (Your Cooper may try
to get your attention a few times before it goes to sleep.)
• Check the SENSOR buttons. Press them to toggle ON/OFF.
Cooper Movement
If Cooper isn't moving properly, check the following:
• Be sure Cooper's wheels can move freely and that nothing is
blocking their movement.
• Cooper can move on a variety of surfaces but works best on smooth,
flat surfaces like wood or flat tile.
• Do not use Cooper in sand or water.
Sensors
If Cooper's sensors are not working properly:
• Double check that the sensor button has been pressed and is in the
ON position.
• Check to see if something is blocking the sensor in Cooper's face.
Some actions use this sensor.
• Other sensors cannot be programmed and will not
function while Cooper is in Communication Mode.
To Charge
Plug the provided USB-C cord into Cooper.
A sound effect will play when the robot is fully charged.
The eyes will light red when the robot needs to recharge.
