Known Issues

• Using the iPad power button during a lesson may necessitate restarting the companion app on tablets. We recommend instead using the home button to change focus to a different application.

• Loss of iPad network connection may necessitate restarting the companion app on tablets after connection is restored.

• If two teachers are sharing one tablet and the first teacher’s connection is still active, the second teacher may need to do a reset on the robot before a connection will be allowed.
