==What is this page?==
The goal of this page is maintaining an updated list of the status of the s-bots in IRIDIA
 
For each s-bot, a short list of hardware/software problems should be given.
 
Every time an error/problem occurs while experimenting with the s-bots, it *must* be recorded here.
 
   
  +
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.
== Quick status update ==

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).
