Possible Causes

Worn or hardened wheel treads, Contamination (oil, polish) on tires, Excessive weight from modifications, Floor treatment reducing friction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot and place it upside down.

Step-by-step:

  • Clean wheel treads: Wipe the rubber tires with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove oils or floor polish residue. Dry thoroughly.
  • Inspect tread wear: If the tread pattern is worn smooth or cracked, replace the drive wheel assemblies.
  • Check floor conditions: Avoid using the robot immediately after applying floor polish or wax; wait until fully cured.

When to stop: If traction remains poor with new wheels, consider environmental factors or contact support.
