    They’re available in the resources section of the ExRobotics’ website. ExR-1 gas sensors can be accessed via the hatch between the tracks on the left hand side of robots which is secured with two hexagonal socket-head screws (see picture). ExR-2 gas sensors are accessed by removing the upper cladding.

    8.2. Why can’t I connect to a robot? ExRobotics check whether each robot connects to the server before it’s deployed. Therefore connection issues are often because the control station hasn’t connected to the server. The most common reason is that a customer firewall has blocked access.

  • Page 27: Why Doesn't My Controller Work

    In operation this depends on usage and the age of the batteries. However, the life of a full battery pack will usually lie between: ▪ 90 minutes (ExR-1) or 150 minutes (ExR-2) if a robot’s driven continuously. ▪ 7 hours if it’s static with its sensors on (but no lights).
