301 Mainboard · Input, Mode & Output

Your robot follows stored rules

Identify three jobs: an input sends information, a selected mode applies a stored rule, and an output produces movement or sound. The battery supplies energy; it is not the sensor input.

  1. Point to the input: remote receiver, IR sensor, touch control or START.
  2. Find the mode display and MODE button.
  3. Point to the outputs: the dedicated motor sockets and any speaker.
  4. Select the model guide mode, then press START.

Hand-operated foundation models use no electronic mode. Mode 0 is a real stored Remote Control(R) program.
