Help if you get stuck
Q. Do I need WiFi to connect the robot?
A. No, The robot has his own built-in WiFi that works directly with
your device
Q. How do I know if the robot is connect to
my device?
A. You will know the robot is connected when the WiFi
icon is green
Simulate
Q. What if the robot won’t connect to my device?
A. Make sure the robots power switch is turned on and the
batteries are fresh. You can also reboot the robot by switching
him off, waiting 30 seconds, and powering him back on
Q. Can I use my phone to code with the robot?
A. The robot works best with a computer or tablet. The robot’s
interface works best with larger screens
Q. Where can the robot draw?
A. The robot draws only on one sheet of paper at a time. The
paper must be placed on a hard at surface. You can use tape
to hold the paper down. Always place the robot in the center
of the paper when you are ready to run a drawing program
Q. What kind of paper can I use with the robot?
A. The robots pre-programmed First Lessons need a minimum of
an 8.5” x 11” or A4 sized piece of plain paper, but you can
use as big as you like
Q. What if the robot slows down or takes breaks?
A. The robot may need new batteries. Replace his batteries by
following the battery installation instructions from the Quick
Start Guide
Q. The robot looks like he’s leaving ink blots,
what should I do?
A. Make sure to program the robot to move his pen up at the end
of your design. If the robot is leaving an ink blot when you
are placing him down on paper, re-align the marker using the
Marker-Parker
Q. What if the robots markers get on my clothes
or hard surface?
A. The robots markers are washable. Use mild soap and warm
water to soak and rinse clothing. Let clothing hang dry. If
markers get on your hard surface, be sure to use a paper towel
with mild soap and warm water to wipe it down
Q. Can I clean the robot?
A. Ever so carefully, use a damp cloth to wipe the robots surface
Q. The robots wheels seem stuck. What should
I do?
A. The robots wheels may need a quick cleaning. Use a damp
cloth to clean the treads on the wheels. Then, re-align the robots
Marker using the Marker-Parker
Q. Can the robot fall off the edge of a table?
A. Although the robot is clever, he does need someone to
re-direct him to ensure he does not fall off any edge.
While programming the robot, it is always important to
factor in measurement of space to keep him safe. Always
place the robot in the center of the paper when you run a
drawing program
Q. Can I use other markers with the robot?
A. Yes. The robot uses washable felt tip markers between 8mm
to 10.5mm diameter thickness. The length of the maker must
be 120mm or more. Measure here to check if your marker is
compatible with the robot

Frequently Asked Questions

Problem Solving
Problem Solving
Artie can draw anything you create in code, but
even with perfect code, your drawing may turn out
differently than expected. That is because there are
many factors in your environment that can affect
Artie. You may need to experiment to find the
best solution.
Once you have looked at all these factors,
it may be time to calibrate Artie. Not
all Arties need calibration, so double
check that you’ve taken the above
precautions first!
Learn more about how to calibrate
Artie at CodeWithArtie.com
Check Your Environment
RFirst, give Artie the opportunity to draw your picture
again. Simple things like someone bumping the table
can affect Artie’s drawings.
RCheck to see if your surface is perfectly level.
RTape all four corners of your paper to the table, and
make sure your paper is not textured or glossy (plain
computer paper works well!)
Check Artie
RWhen you have eliminated environmental
issues, take another look at your code. Can
you simplify? For example, try coding Artie to
draw backwards instead of turning all the way
around to draw forwards. Artie is built with
motors and gears, so the more steps and turns
in a drawing, the harder it will be for Artie to
stay precise.
RMake sure that the marker is positioned
correctly using the Marker Parker.
RArtie drawing himself off the edge of the table
may damage his gears, so always keep an eye
on him when you are drawing.
RArtie needs power, so if he slows down or takes
pauses, replace his batteries!
