Overview

If you experience a problem with your robot, first check if you can diagnose and resolve the issues using our online documentation wiki at http://wiki.engineeredarts.co.uk/

There are Troubleshooting sections under the headings on the left hand side, e.g. Under RoboThespian click on Troubleshooting for troubleshooting and resolving issues with RoboThespian. You can also search for a particular component or issue using the search box in the top right of the wiki.

If you are unable to resolve the issue using the wiki, we will provide remote support via our online support system. However, after expiry of the warranty period, this service will be chargeable at a rate of £150GBP per hour, minimum charge 1 hour.

We can supply any spare parts required along with fitting instructions. As at 08/06/2023 minimum order value for parts is £150GBP excluding VAT and shipping.

Support requests can be made via the online support ticket system from https://robots.engineeredarts.co.uk/. Please login then click on the Support Tickets link.

Servicing and upgrades

As with any technical product, eventually replacement parts and hardware become discontinued and software is superseded.

We are continually adding new features, improved hardware and software to our latest robots, and we offer generous exchange deals for customers considering an upgrade to their existing model.

We recommend robots over 3 years old are returned to the EA workshop for servicing at a reasonable cost. Please contact us for a quote.  We will notify you of any parts that need replacing and of any recommended upgrades available.

Kind regards,
The Engineered Arts Team
