Hi there Robotshop forum!
I’m trying to run the basic wasd code on the robot, to no avail. When the program didn’t work, I followed your troubleshooting guide, and attempted to load the full forward speed program. When I did, the exact same upload error appeared:
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
Any thoughts?
Hello! I have been having the same problem. I have selected Arduino Uno, the only port available, and I keep getting the same error message. I tried switching boards to Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328 and Arduino Diecimila or Duemilanove w/ ATmega 328, still the same error message. I turned the rover off for about half an hour, and now the left set of wheels goes forwards and backwards non-stop. Any suggestions?
Can you confirm you manually installed the Arduino Uno Drivers? The procedure can be found here:

Hi there and welcome to our forums!
That error message appears when the Arduino IDE isn’t able to correctly upload the program to the Rover. A few things to check:
] Do you have the right board type selected in the Tools -> Board menu? If you have version 2 of the rover (if your rover was bought recently), you should select Arduino Uno from that menu.
/:m]
] Do you have the right COM port selected in the Tools -> Serial Port menu? If your computer has multiple COM ports, try different options to see which one works./:m]
Once you change the settings, try uploading your program again.
