What this means for troubleshooting

- Depth cameras: dirty lenses and strong sunlight cause false stops.
- Uses navigation markers: covered or peeling markers make it stop or get lost.
- Swappable battery: a charged spare keeps it running through long shifts. Battery runs out before the shift ends
