[SO-101] Students forget to clear last users namespace and controls go to wrong robot for educators schools (beginner)

How do you catch the case where SO-101 commands go to the wrong robot because the last student's namespace or target context is still active?

A very real SO-101 classroom problem appears in shared labs when the previous user's namespace, topic target, or robot selection is still active. A new student thinks their robot is broken, but the controls are actually going somewhere else.

How are you diagnosing SO-101 cases where students forget to clear the last user's namespace and controls go to the wrong robot?

Please share how you detect stale namespace state, which signs reveal a targeting problem instead of hardware failure, and what class workflow prevents students from inheriting the wrong robot context.

If you reply, include one exact wrong-target symptom and one exact startup or reset step that exposed the namespace issue.

Comment 1

The best replies explain whether the issue first appeared in topics, UI selection, or physical motion on the wrong arm.

Comment 2

If one namespace summary or reset routine catches the problem fast, share it. That classroom-safe habit is what many searchers need.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you make robot ownership obvious in multi-robot classrooms.
