Hi, I,am a total novice and I have just purchased the Roli Rover Robot .I have followed all of the tutorials but have the following issues:
(1) I can get all functions to operate except for the tracks and camera picture. I have checked the wiring instructions as in the tutorial which seem ok but the tracks do not move.
(2) One of the three servos moved smoothly for about two minutes but then became juddery when moving and the actual servo was warm
(3) The contents in the box was correct except for two addition wired cables with black end plugs they are about 12" long , the cable colours are white-red-black, they are not mentioned in the box contents tutorials or in any assembly instructions
Can anybody help, I,am located in the U.K.
Regards,
Paul Nicholson
The long cables would be used to extend the servo wires at the end of the arms. This will prevent binding.
On the camera, do you get a blue light out of the front of the camera when the robot is on and the camera control is started?
On the servo for the arm, was there any binding that was caused by the wire being tight? Are all of the other servos moving without any jitter?
On the tracks, please look at this page to make sure that all of your wires are attached correctly.
Note: the page says that the button should be down, but if all the wiring is correct, and it still doesn't work, try with the button up. A few H-Bridges seem to have it backwards.

I removed all of the moving servos on the arms and camera and just left the tracks wired and tried again, still the tracks did not work. I have not configured any of the servos could this be the problem with the faulty servo.
Again your help is appreciated,
