Troubleshooting your Crawler
The Crawler has been designed to be straightforward and very reliable. The information below will provide helpful
assistance to troubleshoot the Crawler. This section covers the most common problems you might encounter.
Legs bind when walking
Check all joints and loosen as needed. Joints should always move freely without being to loose.
Legs hit when walking
Improper assembly of unit or legs bent. Legs should never hit each other while moving.
The Crawler can run any PBASIC program written for the Boe-Bot™ robot. However, since the ground speed of a rolling
wheel and the ground speed of the crawler legs may be different, some programs that send a wheeled Boe-Bot a certain
distance or execute a turn of certain number of degrees may need to be adjusted. Any navigation routine for a specific
maneuver can be easily adapted by changing the FOR…NEXT loop EndValue arguments.
