I’m your cool little robot that is ready to follow your commands and learn
some awesome tricks. Turn me on and I’ll show you my stuff. When you
train me to do new tricks with your hand motions, you’ll be amazed at
what I can do—spin, dance, pop wheelies, make some crazy sounds…
and so much more. The more you train me, the more I do!

Turn NOVIE on and let NOVIE go. Be sure to try some hand motions in front of
NOVIE and around NOVIE to see how NOVIE responds. If you don’t play with
NOVIE, NOVIE will eventually go to sleep. If NOVIE goes to sleep, turn NOVIE
OFF and ON again to wake NOVIE up.
