>WALDO, LOOK
FC: Cryolink established to Waldo.
WALDO: Internal map reference -- Hydroponics Monitors
This area has walls with irregular protrusions, most likely some kind of
monitors or meters.
In the room with me are Sensa and Poet.
There is a solid wedge here.

>FOLLOW POET
Okay. I'll follow Poet.

>STAND ON WEDGE
Okay. I'm standing on the solid wedge now.

>POET, WEST
POET: Internal map reference -- Central Chamber
It hops and skips and leaves a bit, and can't decide if it should quit. It tells
the world what it should know, but doesn't know when it's been shown.
In the room with me is Waldo.

>SENSA, LOOK
FC: Cryolink established to Sensa.
SENSA: Internal map reference -- Hydroponics Monitors
Meters and electrons within this room seem extremely variable with each passing
second.
There is a dense wedge here supporting Waldo.

Note that if you stand on the wedge first and then follow the other robot, it works as intended:

>WALDO, STAND ON WEDGE
WALDO: Okay. I'm standing on the solid wedge now.

>FOLLOW POET
(getting off the solid wedge first.)
Okay. I'll follow Poet.

You can also use the same trick to keep Whiz plugged in:

>FOLLOW WALDO
Okay. I'll follow Waldo.

>PLUG
It's great to be home. Plugged in to the Advisory Pedestal. Ready to process
queries.

>WALDO, NORTH
FC: Cryolink established to Waldo.
WALDO: Internal map reference -- Central Core
Sonar detects a small railing, most likely for safety purposes, directly before
me. Beyond that railing is a huge cavern.
In the room with me is Whiz (plugged in).
