Robotics Worksheet: Robot Safety
Robot tip (Off, away, stop): Stay behind safety lines and out of the reach of moving arms, wheels and gears. Switch off (and unplug the battery) before fixing; learn the emergency stop button. Hair tied back, no loose sleeves; charge on a hard surface; build and test with an adult.
