Possible Causes

Worn drive wheels, Weak wheel suspension springs, Low battery reducing motor torque, Excessive debris in wheel wells

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the robot before inspecting the wheels.

  • 1. Clean wheel wells: Remove hair and debris from around the drive wheels and axles.
  • 2. Check wheel tread: Inspect the rubber on the drive wheels. If it is smooth or cracked, replace the wheel modules.
  • 3. Test suspension: Press each wheel up and down to ensure it moves freely. If a wheel is stiff or does not extend fully, the suspension may be worn or jammed.
  • 4. Adjust environment: Use cable organizers and threshold ramps where possible to reduce trapping points.

Warning: Do not add non-OEM spacers or oversized wheels; this can affect sensor alignment and cause safety issues.
