  • Eye protection is the most important item! Even the smallest bot can blind you.
  • Use a test box to test your bot, or set up a camera and test your bot ‘remotely’.
  • Always follow the proper startup/shutdown procedure, in order!
    1. Make sure controller is zeroed
    2. Turn on the controller
    3. Turn on the bot
    4. Test!
    5. Turn off the bot
    6. Turn off the controller
