4. Configuración y montaje
Follow these steps to set up your WhalesBot C3 Pro and begin building your first robot.
4.1. Carga del controlador
Before first use, ensure the BC 301 Controller is fully charged. Connect the provided Type-C cable to the controller and a suitable USB power source. The indicator light will show charging status.
4.2. Pairing the Smart Panel and Controller
- Power on both the Smart Panel and the BC 301 Controller.
- Place them close to each other. They will automatically connect via Bluetooth. A successful connection is indicated by a steady blue light on the Smart Panel.

5. Operación de su robot
The WhalesBot C3 Pro offers two primary modes of operation: Coding Mode and Remote Control Mode.
5.1. Coding Mode with Magnetic Cards
Use the magnetic coding cards to program your robot's actions. Each card represents a specific command (e.g., move forward, turn left, play sound). Place the cards in sequence on the Smart Panel to create a program.
- Select the desired coding cards for your robot's actions.
- Place the cards onto the designated slots on the Smart Panel in the desired order. The panel's indicator lights will confirm correct placement.
- Press the "Run Program" (Play) button on the Smart Panel to execute the sequence.
- The Smart Panel features error detection, indicating if a coding sequence is incorrect.
Figure 4: Demonstrates how to control the robot using the Smart Panel, including movements, sounds, and lights.

5.2. Modo de control remoto
For direct control, use the directional buttons on the Smart Panel to manually steer your robot.
- Use the arrow buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right) to control the robot's movement.
- The speed adjustment buttons allow for varying movement speeds.
6. Creative Play and Expansion
Beyond the 12 guided models, the modular design of the WhalesBot C3 Pro encourages open-ended building and creative exploration. Experiment with different structural parts and electronic components to design your own unique robots.

The WhalesBot C3 Pro system is designed for expandability. Additional sensors (such as ultrasonic and line-tracking) and new coding cards can be purchased separately to unlock advanced programming possibilities and further enhance your robot's capabilities.
7. Mantenimiento
- Limpieza: Wipe down the robot parts and Smart Panel with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Almacenamiento: Store all components in the provided sectioned storage box to keep them organized and protected from dust and damage.
- Cuidado de la batería: Recharge the controller regularly to maintain battery health. Avoid fully depleting the battery for extended periods.
8. Solución de problemas
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Robot does not respond. | Low battery on controller or panel. Not paired. | Charge the controller. Ensure both devices are powered on and paired successfully. |
| Coding sequence not working. | Incorrect card placement. Cards not fully seated. | Check Smart Panel indicator lights for errors. Re-seat cards firmly. Review the sequence in the manual. |
