Optional Remote Control
If you are planning to teleoperate your robot, you need the following:
• A separate PC that meets or exceeds the laptop requirements listed previously
• A wireless network card for your laptop
• A wireless network card for your PC
Important Note: This remote control configuration should operate within a distance of
approximately 30 to 60 feet between the robot and the controlling PC, depending on
interference caused by other signals, thick walls, etc.
Optional Email
If you plan to program your robot to send and receive email, you need the following:
• Access from your robot laptop to a Internet connection.
• An incoming Evolution Robotics RobotMail account for your robot. We will
provide a RobotMail account that will allow you to send your robot email to initiate
preprogrammed commands.
• An outgoing email account for the robot provided by the ISP of your choice.
• Many Internet providers allow you to set up multiple email accounts. Also,
there are a number of providers of free email accounts. Contact your Internet
provider and/or a free email service for more information on setting up a 2nd
email account.
Important Note: The messages transmitted to the robot are not direct instructions, but are
messages which, based on the sender, subject, and/or body will result in activation of a
pre-programmed task.
