266 Place the robot in a position as close to neutral as possible, and turn it on. Your robot should go to and hold the neutral position, and should
267 resemble figures 11-1 through 11-3. If the joints are off by more than 15&amp;deg; you may have made an error in assembly. To correct this, remove the

272 is lifted off the ground. This is normal, and is due to the lower power servo. When the robot is walking, the effects are minimal. Using a
273 voltage that is higher than 6vdc will make the oscillations worse. When building a robot with more powerful servos such as HS-475,
274 HS-485, or HS-645, you
275 will not see this effect.</font></p>

306 <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Your BRAT will now seek out an object in range, and once it gets close enough, it will kick the object. When
307 you turn the robot on, it will beep three times, letting you know that the program was successfully downloaded. The BRAT will then scan the area
308 in front of it, looking for a water bottle (or similar object). If the BRAT does not detect an object, it will turn in place, then scan again.
309 This will repeat until the BRAT detects an object.</font></p>
310 <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">When the BRAT detects an object, it will walk toward the object, turning to adjust the direction if needed.
311 Once the BRAT is in "kicking range", it will beep. The BRAT will align itself into kicking position, then kick the object. After
312 kicking, the BRAT will scan to make sure the object is down. After the object has been kicked down, the BRAT will once again start scanning for
313 objects, starting the program loop over.</font></p>
