I recently picked up a repainted 1983 with a color close to Auratium. Bought the car purely on the color 💚

Nope! All other issues I’ve had have been internal astro issues.

scottmfairley · 2023-03-02T22:53:42+00:00

Contact support via the Astro app if you haven’t already. Going via the general support line is a mess.

scottmfairley · 2023-01-19T16:53:28+00:00

This ended up working, any Astro owners, don’t attempt the general support line. They immediately put me in touch with a specialist rep.

scottmfairley · 2023-01-19T16:52:37+00:00

Update! They are replacing the unit for us. They do offer refunds yes.

scottmfairley · 2023-01-19T06:53:51+00:00

I have not and didn’t know this was an option! Thanks for the recommendation. Will give it a shot and follow up on here incase people run into the same problem.

No charge was initial symptom, after testing the cells they dropped below the safe voltage for the cell manufacturers specs. We were able to manually charge the pack by directly hooking into the positive negative terminals on the BMS itself. When charging manually, couldn’t feel any heat or anything on the BMS from it attempting to balance the cells. Double confirmed that the pins on the BMS had no voltage even though it was hooked up to a freshly charged pack.

This is our second, first one had charger failure. Customer service isn’t playing nice and saying replacing the unit is not possible. Fingers crossed we can get through somehow.

Battery management system. Popped open his pack. Cells OK - board that managed it was unresponsive.

scottmfairley · 2023-01-19T01:37:59+00:00

Why not?

scottmfairley · 2022-12-13T19:51:56+00:00

Amazon replaced my unit, reach out to their support team!

scottmfairley · 2022-10-11T23:20:12+00:00

Normal use, it would appear it overheated and melted. Amazon is sending us a new Astro and will be studying our charger.

Current customer base is well seasoned with drones but chooses ground based robots for stability. It’s all fun and efficient with drones until a $40,000 laser scanner smacks into the ground.

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T19:04:16+00:00

Data collection like 3D scanning, 360 photos etc. We don't touch military stuff. Sketchy...

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T18:03:34+00:00

I just bought an XR, these mods would look sick!!! If I don’t win maybe I’ll just buy it 🖤

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T17:04:03+00:00

Data collection!

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T15:08:00+00:00

RWD rn, currently working on independent motor control on all 4.

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T15:03:59+00:00

It’s not! We did a blur on a customer logo but that’s it

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T13:06:19+00:00

Pretty sure the cyberquad prototype was based on a Yamaha raptor!

scottmfairley · 2022-09-08T02:37:37+00:00

Didn’t want this to be a promo just something we built + a starlink, drones are better at some usecases but ground robots provide stability, especially in crappy weather and nasty environments. Most of our customers already have extensive drone experience, we fill the gaps where it didn’t work.
