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.

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.
