Checkpoint 0

Last Updated: Oct 21, 2024

IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL:

1. Only operate your MBot on the floor. When your MBot is on a table, put it in a box to make sure it doesn’t accidentally drive away and zip off the table!
2. DO NOT run sudo apt-get update on the MBot.
3. Each STUDENT will build their own MBot that they are solely responsible for returning in full functioning condition at the end of the semester.
   • If you believe your MBot is broken, talk with the GSIs for help repairing or replacing parts.
   • Don’t make changes without approval from the course staff. Undo any (approved) changes before you return them.

Failure to adhere to these warnings may result in a penalty to your grade.

We have a limited number of working robots; thus, proper care is highly critical!
