Wyze Robot Vacuum acting possessed or hacked

Home

My robot vacuum is acting possessed. At first I thought one wheel was stuck, but it rotates when I use my hand. Also, when I put it on the charger, it suddenly spins up the rotating Lidar sensor at the top, and it vibrates off the charger. I’ve turned it off and back on a couple times. Anyone else experience this behavior? Here are some links to video of it acting crazy:

Thanks,
Kervin

An issue with the wiring on the right wheel is my guess. It seems to do weird things when a wheel has a broken/loose wire so that could also be why it was doing the weird lidar thing too.

Thanks. Good place to start looking.
