Model: Tapo RV30 Max Plus  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that my TAPO RV30 Max Plus occasionally makes small hops or jerks while moving on a flat surface. When it happens, it tends to occur repeatedly several times in a row, then stops for a while before starting again. It feels like the robot is hitting a tiny obstacle and hopping slightly, even though the surface is clear and smooth. This mainly occurs when it’s going straight. Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be causing it?

Thanks!

  @Wayne-TP 

This also happened to me. I am not sure adding lubricant to those areas work. Seems not relevant.  Pleas help to advice.
