Unpowered Scope and Starting State

Establish the safe boundary for the currently available visual inspection and record review.

This path documents externally accessible visual conditions and existing build records. It does not include energized work, electrical measurements, intentional joint movement, or disassembly.

Starting-State Gate

0 of 5 required checks complete

Stop if the starting state is uncertain

Do not continue if the robot is unstable, the battery condition or isolation cannot be confirmed, a connector is unidentified, or the inspection would require lifting or movement. Validated support, lifting, isolation, and battery-disconnection procedures are TBC.

Included

  • review of release, build, actuator, wiring, electronics, and battery records
  • visual inspection of accessible mechanical installation
  • visual inspection of accessible cables, connectors, routing, and strain relief
  • physical inspection of unpowered electronics and the disconnected battery
  • recording findings and blockers

Excluded

  • manual free-motion or hard-stop checks
  • torque verification or corrective tightening
  • electrical probing or whole-robot continuity, polarity, isolation, and short-circuit measurements
  • charging, power-on, emergency-stop, actuator, zeroing, sensor, or motion tests
