What is this page?

This page contains an up to date list of the status of the IRIDIA sbots. Please update with any problems or other info you find for each s-bot.

Please note that robots with trembling turrets, different track speeds and broken slope sensors are not considered to be "broken". Only robots with major problems like broken tracks or LEDs are marked as broken in the following list.

IMPORTANT - How_to_avoid_damage_to_the_s-bot (includes info on recharging with new circuit board).

Sbots in IRIDIA

sbot 6 [BROKEN: tracks]

Left track not responding Rogrady 17:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Motor works, but seems to have not enough force. Blocks when track rubber gets in way of wheel. Arne 17:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

sbot 8 [BROKEN: flash/mainboard, gripper]

Gripper elevation changes slowly. There is a little bit of play, especially when directing it downwards. pincy 21:01, 8 July 2008 (CEST)
Slope sensors do not work. pincy 21:01, 8 July 2008 (CEST)
Camera detects some non existant red -- Who?
Gripper broken. Probably glueable in IRIDIA. Rogrady 16:20, 24 November 2008 (CET)
Flash card seems to be fucked, kernel boots up but does not seem to be able to find the root fs Arne 09:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- ATTENTION robot seems to make random movements when booting

sbot 9 [BROKEN: battery]

Gripper does not fully close. Rogrady 15:04, 13 November 2007 (CET)
Battery level check seems to be completely broken, either SIGSEGV or random values Arne 09:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

sbot 13 [OK]

Crack in black gripper plastic glued. Gripping works ok, but be gentle. Rogrady 17:35, 26 January 2007 (CET)
When turret is fully rotated (-110 or 110), it trembles. pincy 21:09, 8 July 2008 (CEST)

sbot 19 [OK]

Cracked black plastic part of gripper glued. Be gentle with gripper. Rogrady 19:10, 11 June 2008 (CEST)
When turret is fully rotated (-110 or 110), it trembles. pincy 21:12, 8 July 2008 (CEST)
Turret slips when rotating from 0 anticlockwise if you apply a little bit of count pressure. pincy 17:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Turret rotation is rough when moving in either direction past the straight ahead point Rogrady 16:09, 24 November 2008 (CET)

sbot 22 [BROKEN: tracks]

Left motor slower than right motor when going forward (values 20/20), left motor faster than right motor when going backwards (values -20/-20). pincy 21:19, 8 July 2008 (CEST)
When turret fully rotated on the left (value 110), it trembles. Does not happen when rotated on the right (value -110). pincy 21:19, 8 July 2008 (CEST)
Gripper does not fully close. pincy 21:19, 8 July 2008 (CEST)\
ATTENTION Both tracks tend to block in full speed! Error message:

 device 11, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error
 device 2, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error
 device 3, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error
 device 6, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error
 device 11, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error
 device 11, write, reg 0x2f val count 1, Remote I/O error

S-bots that we have cannibalised

sbot 12 (IDSIA)

Gripper -> s-bot 9 (Gripper cracked)
LED Ring c.b. -> s-bot 32 (32's did not light up in different cols)
Wifi card -> s-bot 26 (26's did not connect)
Battery control PIC -> s-bot 26 (26's was always registering 0)
