Disabled robots moving

[Christopher149]

Fans (at least those that are small and cooling motor controllers and motor) are allowed to run all the time by R52 - we've done it this way for literally forever. About all I can imagine is that this was a large motor-powered fan for deflecting boulders, or a miscommunication.

I didn't see the robot personally, but if I remember our conversation correctly, the fan was wired directly to the robot battery.

Thank you all for answering the original question however! I know it's kind of a nitpick, but I do appreciate it.

Thanks for the clarification, the robot inspector's decision makes sense then by R48. I do recall a case of one robot at NYNY having an improperly connected fan that needed to be rewired to the PDP.
