Troubleshooting
The robot does not move after assembly
Check that batteries are seated correctly and that no mechanical joints are locked or jammed by debris.

Verify the battery contact points are clean and the batteries have not lost charge.
The motion seems jerky or unstable
Re-check all hinge connections; a loose joint can disrupt the rhythmic movement of the robot.
