Hi all

Have had an awesome time reading your posts, following your progress and of course building the little guy.

With the app loaded, batteries primed, and a faultless start-up, my first play around was perfect - in both manual and video mode. Since then however, every time i fire him up he gets completely startled.

The patrol mode is going on/off/on/off/on/off causing him to start/stop continuously over-riding any controls i make. His sensors don't sense walls when he's in this state (they do when he isn't in this state) and I'm not sure what to do. I've re-installed the app but that didn't help.

Could button 1 on his torso have a dodgy connection or does it sound like something else does anyone know? Any suggestions most gratefully received.

Thanks all

I think that during running a cable has worked loose somewhere so you need to check there all fully seated and also make sure there is plenty of slack between the head to body main cables.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It seems that was the issue, and he is working perfectly! I'm so happy!

I've attached a pic - mine has been in the wars!

Thanks again

Happy R2-ing, and Happy Christmas everyone!
