Important Notes
- Codey Rocky is an educational robot intended for learning and interactive activities.
- Python functionality and supported commands depend on the mBlock software version and device firmware.
- Some advanced AI features rely on external software or online services rather than processing entirely on the robot.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities depend on the supported communication modes and firmware.
- The robot should be used on suitable indoor surfaces.
- Charging should be performed using a compatible USB power source.
- Confirm the included accessories and charging cable against the actual retail package.
