== IMPORTANT! == Improperly used, the robot can destroy itself, its suroundings, and run you over. Please know what you are doing and don't be afraid to ask questions. * RTFI! Know how to engage / disengage wheel clutches, and where the power <S>switch</S> is incase it goes crazy. These instructions are found below. * DO NOT UNPLUG THE ARDUINO IF THE WHEELCHAIR CONTROLS HAVE POWER AND THE CLUTCHES ARE ENGAGED. THE ROBOT WILL MOVE AT THE HIGHEST SPEED IN A RANDOM DIRECTION. * Always warn humans nearby that the robot could lose control and run them over. * DO NOT "UPGRADE" UBUNTU OR THE KERNEL ON THE HOST MACHINE! (unless you are going to stick around and make everything work with it...) * if someone is sitting in the chair when it is on, warn them that the robot could go crazy and kill them, it has almost happened. * We have not implemented even basic safety shutoffs, so you should be watching it all the time. It will very happily drive through its operator and the wall without stopping. * <S>'''If it appears to be getting out of hand, the power switch is just behind the joystick, where you turned it on.''' This will power down the motors and stop it where it is immediately, with the brakes on. At this point you can disconnect the parallel-port interface and drive it home with the joystick, or </S>disengage the wheel clutches and push it home manually. [there is no longer a manual power switch for the drive. jake is looking for a STOP button] * If it REALLY IS getting out of hand, use furniture to try to stop its movement <S>so you can get at the power switch.</S> DO NOT try to use your body to stop it, it's heavier and stronger than you are and it doesn't feel pain.
