Are my stairs going? Thanks to the different modes, BRO (almost) always finds a way to get to the destination. However, there are some small hurdles that BRO cannot overcome.

Stairs: Straight stairs or stairs with intermediate landings are mastered by BRO without any problems. However, spiral staircases or staircases with curves are not possible. Here you can find out if your staircase is suitable for BRO. Doors: BRO has a width of just under 700 mm, so it will not fit through doors that are narrower. Thresholds: BRO overcomes steps up to 20 cm high without any problems. However, free-standing thresholds can be a challenge. Find out here if your thresholds and steps are possible with BRO.
