Turn Sparki on by switching its power switch from ‘off’ to ‘on’.

Test Sparki by using the remote control. First, make sure that the small plastic activation tab is removed from the bottom of the remote.
Sparki is pre-programmed with an example program that wanders while avoiding walls. You can stop this program by pressing ‘7’ on the remote, which will let you use the remote normally.
