Keeping your robot in check

It will happen that the robot runs away. Indeed, if you stop your program, the robot does not stop. It keeps executing the last command it got. To stop the robot in case of emergency:

‼️ Lift the robot a few centimeters from the floor. If the wheels stop making contact with the floor the robot will stop.

Resetting the robot

It might happen that your robot stops responding to commands. In this case, you can reset the robot.

  1. Unplug the data cable from the robot
  2. Hold the spot and dock buttons until the green light goes off
  3. Press the middle button

If this does not work, there is a more drastic way. The bottom plate of the robot can be removed and the battery can be disconnected. You will need to ask instructor assistance for removing the battery.
