Chek if there are any object behind the robot (using ultrasonic sensor number 2), less than 30 centimeters:

else:
    print('No obstacle')
...

Checking temperature

Chek if ambient temperature is not between 20 and 25 degrees.

...
if self.sensors.check_sensor_in_range("/temperature/ambient", lower_bound=20.0, higher_bound=25.0, inside_range=False):
    print('Not good temperature!!')
