  • Page 113 Product Manual - Turf Tank One+ 3.5.1.3 Line of Sight - Satellites to Robot Like the Base Station, the Robot needs a line-of-sight connection to satellites to operate properly. A clear line of sight between the Base Station and the Robot is not enough.
  • Page 114 Product Manual - Turf Tank One+ 3.5.1.4 Level the Base Station Sloped surfaces can obscure otherwise visible satellites from the Base Station, causing line marking to be less precise. Sloped surfaces also magnify the possibility of the entire Base Station structure blowing over in a gust of wind, causing severe damage.
