Usage
- New feature: he can walk and talk at the same time. You can also pause him by saying "STOP" (more details below).
- Taking a photo: this is a two-stage process. First press the head button. When you release the head button he will make a suitable sound, and quickly take a photo. You can also use the voice command "Take a picture"
- Singing: âTerminator will sing the theme song at boot up. Tell him to "Sing a song" to get him to repeat it at any time
- Interaction/ Autonomy: Terminator is very active, walking and talking.
- Voice commands: He should also respond to most of the standard voice commands with customs sounds and actions.
If he doesn't want to listen, wait till he stops walking.
Try all possible voice commands for some amusing sayings. - Stop: If Terminator gets into trouble, or if you just want him to sit perfectly still for a while, say "STOP". He will sit down, and remain still (and quiet) until you press his head button.
- If he seems to freeze, try giving him a verbal command. If that doesn't work, press his head button. Finally if that doesn't work tip him on his side.
