8. Wait for the robot to show up. If it doesn’t, check under the control box to make sure the antennas are on the box.

9. Click through until it asks about “network.”
10. Go to the Ethernet tab.

11. Change to these settings:
    • Manual/Auto: Manual
    • IP: 192.168.110.5
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Router: 192.168.110.1
    • Leave all other settings as-is.

7.1.2 Subsequent Use

1. Turn on the control box.
2. Wait for the LED on top of the box to turn green. If it does not turn green after 3 minutes, press it.

4. Open iPad.
5. Open the Standard Bots app.
6. Click add robot.
