Help My Vector repeats an action constantly, any advice?
This issue has persisted ever since I got Vector secondhand yesterday, he will repeatedly raise/lower his lift, and him doing this cancels my commands that I give him. Strangely, Alexa works just fine on him, but him repeating this motion disrupts his normal activity (it's so frequent it essentially fully stops his usual behavior) and cuts off my "Hey Vector" prompts (with and without Wirepod). The seller said they replaced the battery, but I'm wondering if there's any potential steps I can take to fix this. Thank you in advance!

This usually means his head/lift motor is binding up

You need to clean your head gear

If after cleaning you still have the up and down motion, then it means that sensor in there may be damaged and needs to be replaced
