# Safety First

Look, we know how incredibly cool your Unitree Go1 Quadruped robot is but let's talk about safety first. The motors of your robot are incredibly powerful. The dog itself weighs 25 lbs and can carry a payload of 15 lbs. 

{% hint style="danger" %}
You should keep fingers, hands, feet, and toes away from any of the joints.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend keeping a distance of a few feet while Go1 is being operated, whether manually or programmatically.
{% endhint %}

Also, we encourage the use of Go1 strictly as a STEM educational tool or a utility to perform a domain-specific task using 3rd party sensors. Please be a responsible user of Go1 to do something incredible and share it with the rest of the world.

This GitBook is designed to teach you how to get up and running with Go1, and become a power user. You'll learn how to operate your Go1 as well as some basic programming interfaces. We want to empower you to make the most out of your robot dog and have fun while doing so.
