Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots Can Talk! How to Customize Their Sounds
Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots can sense each other when they get within 10 inches.
You will hear a pre-recorded sound, but you can also record your own sound. Here’s how:
- Turn on the Sensor switch underneath the Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.
- Hold down the Go button for 2 seconds and wait for a beep.
- Record your own voice. A double beep ends the recording.
You can also record a sound when a command key is pressed. Here’s how:
- Press and hold a command button for 2 seconds and wait for a beep.
- Record your own voice. A double beep ends the recording.
To erase all sounds, press and hold the Clear button for 2 seconds until you hear a double beep.
