This is a typical Novag way to behave when the Rom looses connection with the
socket.  It has happened to two of my constellation 2 mhz and also to my
Superconny.  It happened to my Superconny in the middle of a game against the
MMM.  Some weeks ago I read an old SSDF article about chess computer repair and
found the cure for all of my Constellations.  Just shrugging the ram in the
socket was enough to make them work.  I did not have to take them the RAM out.
I do not know is the Robot has the same sockets as the Constellations, but if so
then it should be worth a try.

Hopeful regards  Erik
