How do I wash a contaminated robot?

You can use a water jet/spray to wash the robot if for example it may have been exposed to
hazardous chemicals. However, do not point the jet directly at:

▪

Camera and light module windows.

▪

The microphone

opening in the robot’s front panel

▪

The on/off switch or emergency stop.

▪

Any exposed hexagonal plugs including those on the top of the drive module.

▪

The battery pack inside the robot’s hull

. After washing, open the battery pack and dry its

inside if necessary.
