## Troubleshoot: You have two robots on but your Interface is not recognizing one of them.

1. Make sure both robots are connected to Wi-Fi (NAO will give an IP address when you press his chest button once).
2. Make sure both NAOs are connected to the Community account your Interface has on file. For further details, see: Connecting a NAO to ASK NAO for the first time.
