From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

ABOUT ROBOTICS: SMART MACHINES - HOVERBOTS The HoverBots kit allows you to build and program six amazing robots that balance on two wheels! With this app installed on a supported Bluetooth-enabled device, you can remotely control, program, and adjust the balance settings of your robots. HOW TO USE: Position the balancing robot model with its wheels on a smooth floor in an open area. Turn on the switch and hold the model upright with its weight on the floor until you feel its motors turning. Then the model will start balancing on its own. Open the app on your device. Establish a Bluetooth connection between the app and the robotic base unit. There are three different modes: Remote Control, Balance Settings, and Programming. Refer to the product manual for more details. ***** If your device does not meet the minimum Android OS requirements, email [email protected] for further support. ***** Questions or suggestions for improvements: Mail to [email protected] We are looking forward to your feedback! *****
