DANGER: PERSONAL INJURY/FATALITY HAZARD
After installing the robot, you must test it before using it for the first time. Fail-
ure to do this could result in fatality, or serious injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY RISK
Never run a robot system, in automatic mode, with all three jumpers installed.
This would leave the system with no E-Stops.
