SBOT STATUS
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.
Quick status update
- 10 robots in IRIDIA, 3 in Lausanne - 26,22,6
Please check with the meter the battery level BEFORE turning them on. Already 9 and 23 were at around 5 V. , and did "weird" stuff, plus couldnt be accessed by minicom. Maybe battery runs low when unused? We have to talk to Lausanne (Christos)

New chargers and robots
Report here a pair of robot / charger where the charger switched to green automatically, i.e. it is safe to leave these charger / sbot combinations overnight.
