◆R ead this instruction manual carefully before getting started. Have your parents or someone
who can help you read the instruction manual with you. Keep this instruction manual for fu-
ture reference.
◆B e careful when handling the tools such as a penknife and a diagonal cutter.
◆H andle the small and sharp parts carefully.
◆K eep the product out of reach of small children. Do not assemble the product where small chil-
dren can reach and touch it. They may get injured or put the parts / small vinyl bags into their
mouth. Immediately dispose of the packaging materials and the left over parts sensibly.
◆D o not short-circuit the printed circuit board, electronic parts, or power supply terminals. It will
result in overheating of the parts and batteries, causing injury and fire.
◆D o not insert the wires into socket outlets. It will cause damage and injury.
◆K eep fingers out of the moving sections, such as wheels, legs, gears and motor shafts.
◆D o not hinder the movement of moving sections by force. Remove the hindrances in the
moving sections, such as a piece of thread, before operating. Otherwise, the motor will over-
heat, causing injury and fire.
◆T he specifications and forms of this product are subject to change without prior notice.

●ProductInformation●Outline
AIR SHOOTER is a do-it-yourself mechanical kit to make a wheel drive machine with three
motors, operated by a wired controller. The moving features of AIR SHOOTER are: forward,
backward, right and left turns, made by its controller. The third motor is used to catch and shoot
a ball by using air fan. It is a new sensual robot that uses unprecedented operational sense.
Creative performance fields and rules will make your game more exciting. Let's play a game
with other MR-90XX series!

Certain technical terms are used in this instruction
manual in order to give you specific knowledge
about electronics and mechanics, which will help
you to understand other technical texts in the fu-
ture. 【Colored example】* For coloring the machine, carefully read the
“Notes for coloring” on page 40, in advance.
CAUTION
◆P ay attention to the following instructions for the use of batteries.
1. Place the batteries in the correct polarity (+ & -).
2. Never short-circuit, dismantle, heat the batteries, or dispose of them in a fire. They may leak
or explode and cause injury.
3. When you finish playing, remove the battery. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from
the product.
4. Do not wet the batteries or battery holder. If they get wet, remove the batteries from the hold-
er and wipe them off thoroughly.
5. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or recharge-
able (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Do not use the rechargeable batteries. Use only the bat-
teries of the same types as recommended.

Hammer
Pen Knife
Use for installing pinion gears,
etc.
Use for cutting off unneces-
sary projections and burrs.
Screwdriver ( 3)
Use for turning screws.
Long-nose Pliers
2. Before Assembling echanical Parts
• olded Parts
Detach all the parts from the runners with a diagonal
cutter and cut off unnecessary projections neatly. They
may affect the function of the product. Please scrape
them off thoroughly with a pen knife or a file.
Use for handling parts and hold-
ing nuts when screwing.
Diagonal Cutter
Use for cutting parts off the
frame.

• Driving shaft into gears
The motor shaft must be pressed into gears. To reduce
the shock and protect the gears and cranks, using a
lever is recommended. However, if one is not available,
tap the gears and cranks gently so as not to damage
them. Please pay careful attention to the procedure.
The flat side
• Parts made of Rubber
Parts made of rubber will stretch. Be careful not to stretch
them too much or they will break.
Use a diagonal cutter to detach the parts.
• Tightening the lock nut
Lock nut is a special kind of nut, which has a nylon ring
inside in order to prevent the nut from becoming loose
while the assembled kit is operating. When screwing in-
to a lock nut, its direction is important : it needs to be
screwed from the flat side of the nut. When screwing in-
to a lock nut, more power is needed compared to a reg-
ular nut. Use a screwdriver with a bigger handle, so that
the power for turning the screw is used more efficiently.
Use long-nose pliers or a nut driver to hold the nut, when
screwing.
• Tightening of nuts and screws
Tighten nuts and screws properly, or they may come
loose. Overtightening may also cause damage. Tight-
en them just enough to work properly.

larger hole of A2-6.
When the wire sticks
out from the hole, trim
it with a diagonal cut-
ter.
3) Attach the A2-6
