2.4 Additional Resources

Every Pioneer 1 customer gets three additional and valuable resources: a private

account on ActivMedia’s Internet server for downloading Pioneer software, updates, and
manuals, access to RWI’s private robotics newsgroups, and E-mail access to the Pioneer
1 support team.

We have a World Wide Web server connected continuously to the Internet where

customers may obtain Pioneer 1 software and support materials. Point your favorite Web

Some access areas are restricted to licensed customers, including Pioneer owners. To

gain restricted access, use the username and password that are written on the Pioneer 1
Registration & Account Sheet that accompanied your robot.
