• Try to greet Carrobot by saying "Carrot" every time before you give her a command
• Try to speak as clearly as you can. Carrobot may misunderstand you if you talk too fast
• Wait a second until Carrobot finishes her response before you give her another command. Or you can use the Bluetooth remote controller to get an instant response.
• Try to talk with her in a quiet environment. Carrobot may hear your voice commands even in a noisy environment, but it is more likely to understand you when it’s quiet.
