 Introduction

The mechanical coding wheel is the heart of the Mech.5 Mechanical Coding Robot. It steers its coded courses and
programmed tasks. Coding is executed effortlessly by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel directing
your robot to perform its basic functions – move forward, backward, right or left, spin or pause. Thanks to this simple
to follow approach, coding and performing more challenging tasks like throwing, lifting, kicking or drawing, become
achievable as the user’s coding skills increase.

This mission-based, entry level STEM coding robot is designed to inspire users to learn about mechanical
engineering principles and coding basics. It encourages children to think while also developing their
problem-solving and troubleshooting skills when faced with different tasks and difficulties. Engage in the coding
world and beyond by challenging yourself with your very first coding robot.

First test the program with the pen cap on. Place the unit on a 2.5’ x 2.5’ piece of paper. Turn the Draw-BOT on,
it moves forward then draws a 13’ diameter circle. Note: Turn the unit off before it repeats the program. Now,
remove the pen cap and run the program again. Using the coding buttons create your own program.
