I have been playing with the Arduino Robot kit for a while but today there are some weird problems pop up.
After i uploaded the program and disconnected from the computer (it was uploaded successful), it wont be recognized again by connecting to the computer. There is nothing showing on the device manager and it just looks like there is nothing connected to the computer at all. But if i double click the reset the Robot Control bootloader will show up for a sec then disappear. Can someone help me with this problem?
I would suspect the last code you loaded may be a problem.
Try uploaded a blank sketch.
Prepare to upload, then press reset just before the upload starts.
It wont work since the device is not displayed under the ports, so arduino give me the message that "couldn'd find a board on the selected port."

Please disconnect interfaces like sensor.
Make ensure the port being detect in device manager.
As ChilliTronix says, upload blink example make ensure its working. If boot loader crashed you will face problem in uploading. it would say avrdude
avrdude stk500_getsync(): not in sync resp=0x30 ...
post the error while facing upload the code
There is no sensor connected to the robot besides the build in IR sensor. Since it's not connected to the computer so there is no error message. the error message is the same as the Board not found in the port. But somehow i was lucky enough to solve the problem.
Here is what i did. I move to my own computer with win8 interface. after connecting it still did not show anything. so i left it there about 10 min and after some desperate RESET it finally come back to life. It is so unexpected and i have no idea how it work this way. Well I m happy that it's not dead yet and i want to share this to you guys.
