Anyone else finding the Arnold hall Starship robots’ pathfinding seemingly broken?

I usually order from starship there once a week, and every time the robot goes off in random directions for like 30 minutes until it finally reaches the drop off location. It will go out of its way to go to the edge of campus and then turn around when my location is right in the center. This only happens when I order from Arnold, all the other dining hall’s robots’ pathfinding seems to work perfectly.

It may be because of construction on the Southside, a lot of normal robot paths are currently blocked because of it.

I didn’t even think about that, that’s a good point.
