Your Invent! robot has a special demonstration mode with five pre-written demos. They are:

• Rescue the astronaut (movement & the magnetic pickup)
• Drawing demo (simple geometric shapes)
• Line-following (for following a race track)
• Obstacle avoider (using the 'face' sensor)
• Remote control (if you have the 'Robogames' remote)

These demos are great to show some simple things that Invent! can do. They're also useful for troubleshooting by demonstrating that the Invent! hardware is working correctly (particularly if a student is saying that their 'robot is broken!')

You're viewing an example of an instruction page available on our course documentation system. The tutorials that the students follow use this system.

Although this looks like a simple web page, it's been designed in a clever way that makes it easy to :

1. Save an offline copy (on a PC you can right-click and select 'Save As' and on a Mac you can use the 'File | Save as' menu option to save it as a standard 'html' web page file that you can copy to any computer). This means you can easily copy the instructions to machines that don't have an internet connection.
2. Make a printed copy (try doing a 'print preview' now on your machine and you'll see it's formatted so that teachers who want a paper copy can easily print their own - most browsers have an option to scale-down the printout or print multiple pages per sheet to save paper).
3. Can be easily translated (we're working on translations now of our documentation - contact us for more information).
