I thought there is a way to power off the robot by pressing the buttons.

I did not find anywhere on the tutorial on how to power off the robot. I have to keep the robot off the deck to let the battery die.

Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but I tried to run

ros2 service call /robot_power irobot_create_msgs/srv/RobotPower

and it returns

waiting for service to become available...
requester: making request: irobot_create_msgs.srv.RobotPower_Request()

response:
irobot_create_msgs.srv.RobotPower_Response(success=False, message='')

To power off the robot, you have to hold down the power button for about 3 seconds. In addition, the TurtleBot has to be off the dock.

Sometimes the holding the power button doesn't work the first time, so you may have to try it multiple times; it should make a chime noise when it is turning off.
