| - | Have as few transports as possible. Since the system is based on the robot steering towards the wall, the distance must be long enough that it has time to steer towards the wall before turning and going in the other direction again. Repeated short runs back and forth often mean that it never steers and the robot can end up being too far from the wall. | + | Have as few transports as possible.

| - | When moving the robot, always have the telescope retracted fully and have the nozzle as close to the robot as possible. Aim the water jet straight away from or straight towards the robot. This is to prevent the robot to steer sideways due to the force from the water jet. | + | When moving the robot, always have the telescope retracted fully (as short as possible) |
| The effect gets greater the further away the water is from the robot. This is why we want the telescope retracted fully and the arm have a position where the nozzle is close to the robot. See the illustration below. | The effect gets greater the further away the water is from the robot.

| - | This is a great opportunity to wash the wall closest to the robot. Simply aim the nozzle straight towards the robot and place the water jet in the middle of the wall (vertically) as you drive the robot to the next position. We do like this when programming the wall program where we go from one wall to another, for example. | + | This is a great opportunity to wash the wall closest to the robot.
