Place the robot in front of the Home Base about 1.5 m away, within the expected beams. 3. Turn robot on with CLEAN 4. Press DOCK on the robot. 5.

Start the test robot by pressing "CLEAN" and having it face a wall. 3. The robot will attempt to start a spiral, strike the wall, and then follow the wall (right to left). 4. Verify that robot will deflect and not touch any part of Home Base when it encounters the force field. The robot must make it all the way around the Home Base.
