Baby Gate-Bot FAQ

Where should I install Baby Gate-Bot?
One of the primary advantages of using Baby Gate-Bot instead of a traditional baby gate is that Baby Gate-Bot can be installed anywhere within sight of the threshold to be blocked. Put it on a nearby wall, out of obvious view on the ceiling, or in an open transom for best effect with minimal intrusion.

Does Baby Gate-Bot come in different colors to match my décor?
Baby Gate-Bot comes in your choice of black, white, or chrome finish, so there should be a non-clashing option for any color scheme.

How does Baby Gate-Bot work?
Baby Gate-Bot is a robotic system designed to function as a baby gate, but without hampering movement of you, the parents. The robot unit itself is mounted on a 360 degree swivel hydraulic ball and socket joint for maximum coverage and mobility. Baby Gate-Bot’s targeting systems are state-of-the-art, accurate to the hundredth of a millimeter. The auto lock-on takes no more than .00038 seconds, first time, every time. The included laser rifle is removable for home protection use as well.

How does Baby Gate-Bot tell me from my child?
Baby Gate-Bot units come standard with four ultra lightweight transmitters which can be worn by anyone who needs to pass Baby Gate-Bot. Additional transmitters can be purchased in packages of four. Though designed to be worn like bracelets, the transmitters can be worn anywhere on your person. Also available are single-use sticker tab transmitters for baby sitters, and injectible transmitters for family pets.

Is Baby Gate-Bot noisy?
Baby Gate-Bot is quieter than standard microwave ovens, central air conditioning units, and even most refrigerators, so you never have to worry about waking your other children.

How should I clean my Baby Gate-Bot?
Baby Gate-Bot should be dusted with a dry cloth only, wearing your transmitter, and only when the unit is powered off.

How can I customize my Baby Gate-Bot?
Baby Gate-Bot comes out of the box set to fire 12 warning shots before switching to live fire mode, but this can be adjusted up or down to your taste. A synthesized verbal warning can also be added. You can also limit the range of motion to use the unit in a corner to keep your baby out of an entire room (instead of just the threshold). Second Amendment proponents can replace the laser rifle with any standard rifle, assault rifle, or shotgun.

What accessories are available for Baby Gate-Bot?
Interchangeable faceplates are one of our most popular accessories. Make your Baby Gate-Bot look like a friendly clown, Mother Goose, or a teddy bear. For an additional fee, custom faceplates are available, so the possibilities really are endless. Variable Intensity Laser Rifles are also available, ideal for after your baby has learned to avoid the visible beam. With the electricity savings, the Variable Intensity Laser Rifle pays for itself in just a few months.

What do I do about the holes Baby Gate-Bot has burned in my floor?
Baby Gate-Bot’s standard laser rifle can burn through virtually any substance, so some holes are to be expected. One solution is to set up Baby Gate-Bot by a less used doorway. You can also order our special Vanadium-Steel Threshold Guard for an additional fee.

Will Baby Gate-Bot allow me to carry my child past the threshold if only I am wearing my transmitter?
In a word, yes. Older models of Baby Gate-Bot were set to only ignore the actual wearer of the transmitter, but this problem has since been fixed.

My Baby Gate-Bot is firing at everything that moves. Is this normal?
This is the most common malfunction of Baby Gate-Bot. Do not panic. Call our 24 hour automated customer helpline at 888-GATE-BOT for instructions on remote deactivation of your Baby Gate-Bot. In the meantime, do not attempt to enter the room Baby Gate-Bot is programmed to protect.

Is there any chance that Baby Gate-Bot will gain sentience and turn our planet into a nightmarish, post-apocalyptic, dystopian future world, where a handful of disproportionately attractive human rebels cling to existence, their only hope being to oppose the machine onslaught?
No.

Really?
OK, yes.
