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.

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.

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As with any technical product, eventually replacement parts and hardware become discontinued and software is superseded.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