Polaris question- shooting water

[6XSBChamps]

At times my robot is moving really slow and at times it’s moving really fast. When it was going slow I pulled it up and noticed this part was shooting water. When it stopped I dropped it back in and it went fast. Should water be shooting from here ?

That's the "backup valve" -- it has a mechanical timer inside. Every 5 minutes or so, it's supposed to divert water out of there for 30 seconds or so and pull the Polaris up off the floor and back over to a new area.

Thanks! It’s doing it’s job then. Exactly what I wanted to hear.
