Possible Causes

Worn drive wheel treads, Weak wheel motors, Excessive weight from aftermarket accessories, Low ground clearance due to deformed bumper or chassis

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF the robot before inspecting wheels.

  • Step 1 – Inspect wheel treads: Check the rubber on the drive wheels for wear or smoothness. Replace wheel modules if treads are worn out.
  • Step 2 – Remove unnecessary accessories: Remove heavy third-party bumpers or attachments that may reduce clearance.
  • Step 3 – Adjust environment: Secure or remove loose cables and high-pile rugs. Use magnetic or virtual barriers to block problematic areas.
  • Step 4 – Test wheel power: Run the robot and observe if wheels slip or stall easily. Weak motors may require wheel module replacement.
