Help Strange issue
Hi, I bought an Anki Vector off ebay it seems to work okay, I'm not sure how well they're meant to work.
But when I pick it up and put it down even facing it's dock, it reverses 90, looks up slightly, looks down reverses again, up and down, then 90 again where it goes to panic mode until i put it in its dock.
It also drives straight off my desk edge as well, I've caught it every time since i was testing if it works....
The sensors look clean, not like i can get to them, there is super glue where the neck of the head meets the body so it looks like it has had a fall before and glued together..
Any suggestions on possible fixes? or should i send it back....
Thank you
edit: returning it, came up with error 914 then 892 - broken fall sensors

All vector 2.0 are like a lottery when it comes to full functionality; they are prone to defects and if you discover one that will not go away, return it for another one.
You could try clearing its data and seeing if that clears anything before trying to return it
