Mechanical components as well as servo motors are subject to natural wear and can wear during long operating times. The servos can be reordered as spare
parts. The servo motors have a high cycle stability of up to 100,000 cycles. However, the Robobug is not designed to carry out permanent movements. The
motors in the servo require a break of at least 10 minutes after a longer run (about 10 minutes of continuous movement) in order to cool down. This ensures
a long service life.

circuits, fire, electric shocks, etc. Please read the operating instructions carefully and do not discard them. Please include these operating instructions when
