Test your connection to the Nao

You should be able to SSH into the robot to check on things, e.g. for Mario:

ssh [email protected]

If that succeeds, you should get a Terminal prompt:

mario [0] ~ $ 

Until your SSH key is in authorized_keys (should be added automatically by bin/build_setup.sh) and nao_sync'd to the robot, you will probably need one of the passwords above.
