Hi all, i'm new on this forum and my english isn't very good so i'll try to explain my problem with RQ
I bought it yesterday, i try it but after 10 minutes his right legs always turn.
it's like this vidéos :
Is it the prog or must i change it ?
Thanks for all
If it's brand new and under warranty, and you just want a functioning bot, I'd suggest you return it for a replacement.
It looks like it's not being able to read it's position sensor switch on that leg.
ok thanks a lot
hehehe, Yes this is a classic!! Your front switch for that leg is getting stuck. Just open it up and remove the switch and clean it with electronics cleaner and make sure the toggle switch moves freely. If it does not pry it open just a little bit to release the tension for that switch and it will fix your problem.

i got one for christmas that did the same so my dad got it wrapped up again to send it back but never did and one year later this year we cracked it open and swapped 2 of the controllers to the legs to check if it was a programming faliure (immpossible to fix) and the same leg still rotated instead of the other so it wasnt a programming faliure so then we went to look at the switches (counters) (little green box) witch has 2 metal prongs that get pushed together when the motor thing touches a lever onit pushing them together but the one in my roboquad had one of the prongs slanted upwards so they didnt connect making the robot think it hadnt turned yet so if u have a brokenone that is out of warranty do the same as the text above
Wished you would had found us on R/C before you swapped the controller board. These switches are one of the most problems that Quad has. I'm glad you found out on your own and by doing so you understand more about how the Quad operates now. Great job, you and your dad!! Keep your learning going with robotics.

Hey is my Roboquad is the same as here. I am from Germany and my English is not so good. What can I do to make it work again? Pictures or video with a tutorial by in German would be good. Thank you.
