iBOT Missed Index
Description
There is an index mark located in the loading column, just below
the loading position, and is pointed to by the arrow in the picture. iBOTs
recognize this mark, and use it to synchronize their position every time they go
through the loading column. If an iBOT goes past a position where it expects to
see the index mark, but does not, it signals this jam.
Resolution
Use the following procedure to recover from this situation:
1. The iBOT that has just passed the index mark and traveled up the loading
column is the iBOT that has triggered the jam.
2. Use the red button on the iBOT to move the iBOT below the index mark,
then click Start to try running the machine.
3. If the situation does not get resolved by this, remove the iBOT from the
machine.
The iBOT can be reintroduced into the machine at a suitable time.
