Was there a good reason to move the wheel?
Hamsters need time to settle in and get familiar with their new surroundings so moving things is not a good idea.
Is his water bottle working? Can he easily get to his food and water? Does he have deep enough substrate to burrow? Deep substrate is very important to a Robo and they like the soft paperbased one.
My Robo was a bit frantic when he first moved in but soon settled when he discovered his sand bath which he loves.

You could post a photo of your set up to see if there's anything that may unsettle your Robo.
