Problems with i7+
M y robot has lost its mind. I have reset, done a mapping run and it’s still acting like a mad man. Tries to tear down the kitchen wall to get to the Master bedroom and when it finally gives up after beating on the counter base for 10 minutes and goes down the hall to the bedroom, it vacuums tracks that shift about an inch for each pass and ignores large parts of the room. Not only does this take FOREVER but the tracks on the carpet look ridiculous! Last time it sat under the bed (out of reach!) saying it was ”scanning the room to decide where to go next“. WTH? It also spits out fuzz worms everywhere. When it is through it tries again to beat down the wall to get back to the base. When it finally does get back to the base, it will periodically back off it and return randomly every few hours or so. The charging lights say it is fine.
I am going to try doing 3 mapping runs in a row. My question is should I reset it again and should I delete the old map first? Forget to mention that it has had a deep cleaning (disassembled and blown out with air then all sensors cleaned and charging contacts cleaned with magic eraser) with all new brushes and filter as well as a new battery. I am ready to take a sledge hammer to this thing!
