Nom Bot not munching as it should?
We're here to help! Try these tips:
- In Part A, Step 8, make sure to follow the wire diagram when putting the toggle switch into the switch mount (even if your toggle switch looks a little different from the booklet instructions!). The red and black wires should be on top.
- If you hear your motor chattering when you turn the Nom Bot on or if you see the kicker doesn't go far enough to touch any of the switches, then your motor might be broken. Please reach out to [email protected] and we'll send you a replacement motor.
- Make sure the translucent blue tray arm does not hit anything as it goes up and down – the gap in which the arm moves should be clear of blockers. Sometimes it might hit a wire or parts of the plastic and wood. If the arm is catching on them, tuck the wires into the shield with your fingers, and make sure all plastic and wood parts are securely attached.
- Try running your bot without the translucent shield to help you see what might be going wrong. Check against this GIF below - It should work like this! If it doesn't, email [email protected] a video of your Nom bot without the shield and we can help you diagnose further.
