Re: Potential <R68> Issues?

We were worried about this issue as well, and got this response from the GDC for starting configurations:

Quote:
Please refer to the definition of STARTING CONFIGURATION provided in Section 8.2 of the manual. When the robot is in this configuration, the indicator lights must be visible when a person is standing three feet in front of the robot. "In front" means the person is standing between the robot and the Rack.

We're mounting ours at an angle so it's easier to see from far away.
