Hi all,

I’ve built the following robot: http://openlab.makeblock.com/topic/5729b96b591c0ad43a4764b2
and connect to it through the Android app. However, the first few seconds it doesn’t do anything, then it just starts rolling in circles. I suppose this shouldnt be happening can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Hi QHuizer,

Please upgrade firmware for the Robot have a try. Please refer to this instruction.How to Upgrade Firmware for MegaPi.zip (275.1 KB)
If still the same issue, please change the battery for the robot have a check. According to our test and research, it is suggested to use rechargeable Li-ion battery or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium which can be bought from amazon or local shop. Or Alkaline battery with good quality like Energizer, DURACELL.
