1. When you activate the rpa node it, sends a message to the message queue associated with the robot/role you selected, and turns yellow.
2. When a robot accepts the message it sends a reply and the node turns blue  
If the queue does not exists or no robot has been connected for a while, it will instantly send a timeout message, and the node turns red.
3. When the workflow completes, it sends a completed/failed status, and the node turns green/red

So if it stays yellow most likely a robot is consuming the queue but is not accepting the message, so is probably busy running another workflow.
