Blinking headlight, oops?

I had to restore my robobasic into the controller, and now the blue headlight blinks continuously, even though the battery is fully charged, what the heck? Everything else works fine. Any ideas on an easy fix or why its doing this? Im rather dissapointed with the manual, and my basic is very rusty! I dont wanna gum up this list with stupid questions, maybe should have a dummy programming category or something.

No actually, that's not a dumb question at all. It just so happens that you've found one of the bugs! In the Overall Template Program , disable the GOSUB robot_voltage routine under MAIN: That is the easiest way to do it.
Make it look like this:
'-----------------------------------------
MAIN:
'GOSUB robot_voltage
GOSUB tilt_proc

IF RR > 50 THEN GOTO action_proc
'-----------------------------------------

You can also re-equate the agorithm under the robot_voltage routine. NOTE the equation in the manual is WRONG. 148 is the default, but is actually much smaller... play around with it some.

Also had the same issue. If it helps a full battery appears to give a value of between 85 and 90.
