ROTATE RIGHT (Purple Arrow Button) - The purple arrow shaped button pointing to the right is the
ROTATE RIGHT Arrow Button. When the ROTATE RIGHT Arrow Button is pressed, Colby the Mouse will
turn to the right 90 degrees and stop.
ROTATE LEFT (Orange Arrow Button) - The orange arrow shaped button pointing to the left is the
ROTATE LEFT Arrow Button. When the ROTATE LEFT Arrow Button is pressed, Colby the Mouse will
turn to the left 90 degrees and stop.
ACTION (Red Oval-shaped Button) - When looking at the top of Colby the Mouse, there is a red oval
shaped button behind his left ear. This is the ACTION Button. Every time the ACTION Button is
pressed, Colby will do one of three RANDOM actions:
• Move forward and back
• Loud "SQUEAAKK"
• CHIRP-CHIRP-CHIRP (and light-up eyes!)
GO (Round Green Button) - The GO Button is the round green button in the middle of the four arrow-
shaped buttons. Pressing the GO Button makes Colby the Mouse do your programmed steps, up to 40
steps!
CLEAR (Yellow Oval Shaped Button) - When looking at the top of Colby the Mouse, there is a yellow
oval shaped button behind his right ear. This is the CLEAR Button. When you press the CLEAR Button,
the mouse’s memory is cleared of all previous commands and you will hear a confirmation tone.
Important note: if the mouse begins to move off the programmed course, or if it fails to turn a full 90
degrees, this could be a sign of low battery power. Replace the old batteries as soon as possible to
restore complete functionality. When the batteries are very low, the mouse will begin to beep and flash
its eyes, and the GO button will be disabled. Replace the old batteries as soon as possible to restore
complete functionality.
Please do not push the robot mouse forward or back with force. This can damage the wheels and break
the axles inside.
Assembling the Grid
Connect all 16 grid pieces together to form one large square maze board or make any configuration
you can imagine!
Using the Maze Walls
Create a maze by inserting the walls into the lines on the board. Follow the patterns on the activity
cards to create each maze. Then, program Colby to maneuver through the maze and to the cheese!
Because the maze is customizable, children can build their own maze, try their hand at programming
Colby from start to finish, or invite a friend to try the maze they created. For those aspiring engineers
who want to build their own maze using items from home, Colby can also maneuver on most surfaces,
independent of the maze.
