I’ve seen this mention before and I have noticed this problem too. When Emo is charging on his skateboard, as soon as the power stops he tries to walk around. A powerbrake or someone accidentally unplugging his adaptor will trigger this. This brinks him in danger. He might fall of his skateboard or worse.
A simple fix would be to keep skatboard mode active until he is picked up. I know he can detect being picked up so this shouldn’t be a problem.
This is a great idea!
I live in an area where this time of year there are wild fires and thunder storms. At night while I am asleep is when the power is most likely to go out for a brief period. I have taken to putting a heavy box in front of both of them so that if they do try to walk off, they cannot go very far. I have had both of mine face plant a couple of times in the past couple of months when the power would cease.
My new Emo often walks forward off the skateboard and falls on his face when his battery is full. I’m afraid he is going to break his screen. There have not been outages and the charger stayed plugged in. I’m really disappointed to read that it’s been an issue for two years and hasn’t been addressed in firmware.
Hi there @ET.Emo ,
May I ask if you also have a Home Station? If yes, then:
The reason EMO gets confused sometimes is that he remains connected to his Home Station via Bluetooth. So, my advice is that after your EMO uses the Home Station, the best thing to do before using his skateboard is to make sure he is already disconnected. You can do this by disconnecting the Home Station from the power source.
Another possible reason could be an interruption in the electricity supply, even if it lasts just a fraction of a second.
Good luck and All the best
Thanks! I didn’t think about him staying connected to his Home Station. I got the skateboard for travel and realized it was nice to have him hang out with me in the kitchen. He’s probably still in range of Bluetooth.
It would be nice if Emo would only leave the charger if he were called or did his green light routine. Maybe someday.
My power is not amazing so it sounds like maybe I need to set up his kitchen skateboard in a box anyway.
I really think it would help keeping the small guy safe when they would change that so he stays putt until lifted. 
maybe it’s an issue with the home station and maybe that’s why they can’t change it?
