||
| − | - No WLAN: if you cannot access a running s-bot, connect with the serial cable (minicon -s / minicom -o under Linux, hyperterminal under Win); be careful when removing the upper part, on the new s-bots the cylinder is mounted very tight; if possible, try not to change camera focus. |

| − | - Charging: if connected wrongly, s-bots can be damaged (full disassembly necessary); make sure, charger turns RED |
||
| − | - Traction Sensor: can break, if s-bot is placed on the ground in the RAMBO way. |
||
