3. Uppsetning
3.1 Robot Assembly
The Root rt0 Coding Robot comes pre-assembled. No initial assembly is required for the robot unit itself. Ensure the robot is fully charged before first use.
3.2 Uppsetning og tenging appsins
To control and program your Root rt0 robot, you will need to download the iRobot Coding App on a compatible mobile device (iOS or Android) or computer. The app offers three learning levels suitable for beginners to experienced coders.
- Download the iRobot Coding App from your device's app store or the official iRobot websíða.
- Gakktu úr skugga um að Bluetooth sé virkt í farsímanum þínum.
- Power on your Root rt0 robot by pressing the power button.
- Open the iRobot Coding App and follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your Root rt0 robot via Bluetooth. Keep the device close to the robot during the connection process.

4. Rekstur
4.1 Spilunarhamur
The Play Mode allows you to interact with the Root rt0 robot using your connected device as a remote control. This mode is ideal for immediate engagement and exploring the robot's basic functionalities.
- Drive: Use the on-screen joystick to manually control the robot's movement. You can also change the robot's LED colors and trigger sound effects.
- Draw and Run: Draw a path on your device screen, and the robot will attempt to follow it.
- Tónlistarmaður: Use the virtual piano keys to make the robot play musical notes or pre-programmed songs.
- Raddstýring: Issue voice commands to the robot for movement or actions.

4.2 Coding Mode
The Coding Mode utilizes a block-based programming interface, allowing users to create sequences of commands for the robot. This mode is central to learning computational thinking and problem-solving.
- Access the Coding Mode from the main app interface.
- Drag and drop coding blocks (e.g., 'move forward', 'turn left', 'play sound') onto the workspace to build your program.
- Adjust parameters within each block (e.g., distance, speed, angle).
- Press the 'Run' button to execute your code on the Root rt0 robot.
- Observe the robot's actions and debug your code as needed to achieve desired outcomes.
