Robosapien V2 Sound Sensor
A favorite feature of the Robosapien V2 is his sound sensor. Put him in Guard mode and any loud noise will activate him. You can even enter a specific series of movements for him to execute when a loud sound triggers him when he is in Guard mode.
Some people have mistakenly thought their Robosapien V2 was deaf because they didn't know the nuances of his sound sensor. Robosapien V2's sound sensor doe not operate when he is moving or when his vision system is actively tracking or identifying an object. He has to be standing still, otherwise the sound of his own gears would confuse his sound sensor. If you ever think your Robosapien V2 has a hearing problem, try this test:
I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised to see him react to the loud sound. If this test doesn't work, try hitting the a button on the remote to toggle his sound sensor back on, in case you accidentally turned it off. Then try the test again.
Don't forget to turn his vision system back on with the b button or your likely to think he's gone blind!
