| The robot does not currently have a mechanism to safely 'park' the Kinova arm before the robot is switched off. As a result, once the robot is switched off, the arm will start falling under the influence of gravity, potentially damaging itself or anything along its path. The fall of the arm can be prevented either by teleoperating it to a safe (stable) position, or by holding it and gently moving it to a safe position **after** having it switched off. | The robot does not currently have a mechanism to safely 'park' the Kinova arm before the robot is switched off.

| + | **Repairing of detached finger(s) of robotic arm** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The fingers of the grippers have been designed so that if excessive force is applied on them, they do not get broken but instead they get "detached" from their tendons. To put back into place the detached fingers, one has to delicately reattach the fingers to their tendons. The instructions provided by an e-mail of the ROBOTNIK constructor are as follows: | ||
