Troubleshooting common issues during TeleArms mission

This guide explains what to do if something does not work as expected while you are on a TeleArms mission.

Updated over a week ago

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot common problems and report issues to the support team when needed.


🔴Camera Feed Not Loading

Each mission may use multiple cameras, depending on the robot.

Camera Types

  • Body camera: shows the robot’s main view

  • Arm camera(s):

    • LeKiwi: 1 arm camera

    • XLeRobot: 2 arm cameras

Sometimes, one or more camera feeds may not load properly.

🔧 How to Fix It

Step 1: Reload the Page

If any camera feed is missing or stuck:

  • Reload the page using F5

  • Wait for the mission interface to fully reload

In many cases, this resolves the issue immediately.

Step 2: If the Screen Is Black or Cameras Are Swapped, Wait Briefly

After reloading, if the interface is black or the left and right cameras are swapped:

What to do:

  • Wait a moment for the system to restart

  • If it is only a camera restart, it usually completes within 30 seconds

Step 3: Report the Issue if Reloading Does Not Help

If the camera feed is still missing or not loading after reloading (and waiting, if applicable), send the following to support:

  • Mission title

  • Screenshot clearly showing the missing or non-loading camera feed

This information allows the team to quickly check whether there is a bot or system issue and take action if needed.


🔴Controls Not Working

If the robotic arm suddenly drops or stops responding, it is usually due to one of the following situations.

1. Safety Protection (Overcurrent or Overheating)

This happens when the arm is pushed too far or held at its physical limit, such as being fully extended, fully bent, or pressed against an object.

To protect the hardware, the system temporarily cuts power to the arm.
A warning message will usually appear on the screen.

🔧 What to do

  • Stop moving the arm

  • Wait briefly for control to return

  • Once control is restored, move the arm away from extreme positions

2. Automatic Restart (Loose Internal Connection)

In this case, no warning message appears. The system will automatically restart in the background.

🔧 What to do

  • Wait about 1 minute

  • Do not send any control inputs during this time

  • Try controlling the arm again once the restart is complete


🔴Movement Issue

Difficulty Moving in a Certain Area

If the robot has trouble moving in a specific area, there may be a protrusion or uneven surface on the ground.

🔧 What to do:

  • Try moving in another direction

  • Avoid forcing movement through the same spot repeatedly


Issues That Need Support Attention

If any of the issues below occur, it is recommended to contact support.

  1. The game fails to connect for a long time and remains on a black screen

  2. No warning prompt appears on the interface, and the robot is still uncontrollable after waiting for at least 1 minute.

  3. There is no control, but the robot keeps moving and cannot be stopped

  4. The robot cannot reset normally and gets stuck in one place, unable to continue moving

  5. A single camera is missing and does not return


🕘Support Availability

The team is available to review and respond to TeleArms reports during the following hours:

  • Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (SGT)

  • Saturday: 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN (SGT)

Reports submitted outside these hours will be reviewed during the next available support window.


ℹ️If Support Is Offline

If the team is not available and the bot or camera is not working:

  • Click Complete Mission so the session can still be scored

  • Do not close the browser tab without completing the mission, as this may prevent the session from being recorded or scored

  • If another bot is available, complete the current mission and try a different bot


⚠️Important Notes

  • Do not continue a mission blindly if a required camera feed is missing

  • Always reload first before reporting an issue

  • Clear screenshots and the correct mission title help resolve issues faster
