Ready… Aim… Launch!

Step 1

Attach the harness under the robot, making sure it’s snug and secure.

Step 2

Attach the earpiece onto the robot’s right ear. Make sure the small triangle arrow is pointing directly up and the robot’s head is not tilted up or down. Press firmly until it snaps into the robot’s ear.

Step 3

Open the marker cap. Make sure you store the cap somewhere for safekeeping. If you don’t put the cap back onto the marker when you’re finished, the ink can dry out in up to two hours.

Step 4

Insert the marker into the marker harness. When the marker is secure, you will hear a “click” sound. If the attachment has moved away from the robot’s body, make sure to press it towards the robot’s underside.

Software

The Sketch Kit is compatible with the Blockly, Wonder, and two Cue apps on all available platforms. You can find the Sketch Kit commands in the Accessories menu. For best results, first set Dash or Cue to quiet mode so that
the robot does not move around once you attach the Sketch Kit. For instructions visit: https://help.makewonder.com/customer/portal/articles/2931692-how-do-i-set-my-robot-to-quiet-mode-

Accessing Sketch Kit Commands

Blockly
Start out by trying one of our example programs. Go to the “Create New” section of the Blockly menu and scroll down to select one of the example programs. The solution icons will match the drawing
on each challenge card that comes with the Sketch Kit.

Next, try making your own
creation. Use the marker down and marker up commands in the Accessory section to start and stop drawing, respectively.

Wonder
Start out by drawing the programs from the starter cards. Enter the program key to view and edit these premade programs. For instructions on how to use a Wonder Key, visit: https://play.makewonder.com/community/using-a-key/
Next, try making your own creation. Use the marker down and marker up commands in the Accessory section to start and stop drawing, respectively.

Cue
Add marker up and marker down commands to Cue programs made with Create or Code.

Add Reactions to your Create program to build your own control system for drawing. Did you know that Cue change wheel speeds based
on how close your hand is to the back sensor? Combine this Reactions setup with a marker down state to turn your interactions with Cue into art. Make your very own Jackson Pollack!

Best Practices and Tips

Taking Care of your Sketch Kit

• Remember to save the marker cap and put it back on the marker after using it. If the marker is left uncapped, the ink can dry out in about two hours.
• After you’re done drawing, wipe the whiteboard mat and the robot’s wheels clean before the ink dries with a soft, damp cloth
• We recommend that you use dry erasers, cloth, or soft tissue paper to clean the surface of the mat. Wet wipes can be used, but make sure the mat is dry before the robot begins drawing, to avoid ink smudges.

Drawing Tips

• The accuracy of your drawings can depend on several environmental factors. To obtain consistent results make sure to do the following:
  • Use masking tape or your marker to make sure your robot starts at the same spot every time you run your program.
  • Use low robot speeds when drawing. In Blockly, the best results are at the “Very Slow” speed. In Cue, the best results are at about 15 cm/s.
  • Place the Wonder Whiteboard Mat on the floor. Check the mat for bumps or debris on or below the mat’s surface before starting to draw.
  • Check and make sure that the harness of the Sketch Kit is attached tightly to your robot. Use the arrows and guidelines on the ear piece to check that it is properly aligned with your robot’s ear. It also may
    be worth removing the Sketch Kit and re-attaching it to the robot.
  • Make sure you’re using the Wonder Workshop Dry Erase Markers that came with the Sketch Kit or Refill Pack. We cannot ensure that the Sketch Kit will draw properly using other types of markers.
• Have only one or two robots drawing on the Wonder Whiteboard Mat at a time.
• Don’t forget to document your artwork by taking photos and videos before.

Step 1

Pull the connector rings of the smartphone mount outward and line them up around Dash’s head.

Step 2

Snap the rings into place to connect smartphone mount to Dash’s head. The mount can rotate and lock at 90 and 45 degrees (straight up and down, forward, backward, or diagonal), but we recommend keeping it upright to keep your
smartphone balanced on top of Dash.

Step 3

Grab your smartphone, and adjust the mount so your phone fits snugly. The screen of your smartphone should be facing the back of the robot. Take a test photo to check your smartphone camera’s position!

Step 4

Once your smartphone is firmly secured and positioned correctly within the mount, and then Dash is ready to roam!
