First Born ASURO : Engines go nuts!


After putting the first robot through a lot of stress lately (one plane and two train trips, one fall from knee level, too many curious fingers all over it) the engines decided to go berserk on me. I'm not sure if it's only the engines, but when running the Self Test program, the Engines Test part takes forever: they keep doing the same moves over and over, plus the right engine is running intermittently...in fact that's what worries me most.

I knew that cheap components should not raise one's expectations too much regarding the overall output, but this is still bad news. If the problem is not from the engines themselves, then I may have to debug the entire thing and that's not really a walk in the park.

I'm going to pay a visit to the toy store and buy a couple of motor operated 'subjects', they should be enough to sacrifice for now. Now kids, don't start crying, it's for a noble cause!
