Adventure Bot Not Charging
I have an adventure bot that does want to charge. Charger lights just flash red. Was fully charged before powering on first time and was turned off after cycling power to hear the ez-b logon about 4 days ago. Never had low power warning, went to turn on today and dead, plugged charger on and get 3 lights cycling red green.
