 The wireless is pretty stable when the robots are in use. However when their are idle for a while the connection tends to go down (the ssh connection become non responsive). Be aware that sometimes the blue led will stay on even after the connection has gone down. In this case, reset the IMX and everything should work fine.

 To add a new robot connect to it via usb. Then, you have to modify the section wlan0 of the /etc/network/interfaces file in this way:

-There's a reset button between the charge connector and the IMX. Press it to reset the IMX and therefore the robot including the dsPics. This is the fastest way to reset the robot.
+There are two buttons next to the selector. Press them to reset the translator and the dsPics. Usually, when there's strange stuff happening on low-level (i.e. when you have problems with aseba), press the "reset dsPics". After pressing this button, reload the backend!
 The red led on the IMX next to the battery holder indicates the status of the IMX. It should be flashing. If it stops flashing, there was a kernel panic and you have to reset the IMX.
 The four green LEDs below the selector indicate aseba activity. If they stand still it means that there are no events sent, and therefore that the sensors are dead. Reset the dsPics if necessary, and reload the backend (/etc/init.d/ARGoS.sh start).
