Preconditions
- Robot turned ON and all Preflight done.
- MOT-4 (Roll around, four wheels) has passed — this test is the three-wheel variant.
- Clear physical space around the robot to roll in.
Steps
- Settings (right bar of steamdeck)
- Use the Arrow lift one Wheel for exemple Wheel 1
- Use the slider to define the rolling Velocity 0.25m/secs
- Push the left joystick forward
- Keep moving it for the robot to roll around
- Land the Wheel
- Repeat steps 2/ to 6/ for each Wheel (wheel 2,wheel 3, wheel 4)
Expected
- With one wheel lifted, the robot rolls on the remaining three and follows the
joystick command.
- Motion stays stable and controllable — no unintended yaw drift or stall.
- No fault is raised during the motion.
- The same holds for each of the four wheels lifted in turn — no wheel is a
special case.
Notes
- Automation approach (planned): SDK velocity command; physical space
- Reason / caveat: Rolling velocity is commandable via
RobotCommand(as for MOT-4),
but the outcome needs physical space and visual or telemetry confirmation, so this is a partial candidate at best, not a fully automated test.
- The three-wheel condition is created by lifting one wheel with the Arrow, not by a
configuration setting — so the test is run four times, once per lifted wheel.
- Rolling velocity is fixed at 0.25 m/s rather than left to the operator, so results
are comparable between wheels and between units.
