Hi @SimoneMic, the BAT board (the board that manages the power supplies for the whole robot) has stopped working. It's probably burnt out.

So I proceeded with the replacement. The new board worked for about ten minutes until it burnt out like the first one.

At the moment we don't know what causes the boards to burn out, and we have to try to figure it out. The debbugging may require some time.

[!Note] From 1 August, the robot will no longer be available until the second half of August, as we will be making upgrades. So if the BAT problem is not resolved before the upgrades start, the robot may not be available in the short period.
