FAQs

Earth Rovers Zero

To start driving your Earth Rover Zero, you'll need:

  • 4G SIM card with data plan
  • Game controller, steering wheel or desktop keyboard
  • Web browser on a laptop or desktop
  • FrodoBots account via Discord

Earth Rover Zero is designed with safety in mind.

Weighing less than 5kg, it falls on the lighter side, enhancing its maneuverability and minimizing potential risks.

With a maximum speed of ~3 Km per hour, Earth Rovers are engineered to provide a safe and controlled driving experience.

Do bear in mind that Earth Rovers Zero is still an early-stage prototype-like product and that real-world environment conditions need to be taken into account.

There should be little perceived latency (usually less than 1 second) when controlling an Earth Rover. For most users, they can get used to this latency after about 10 minutes of driving practice.

However, latency performance may deteriorate if there's a bad 4G network connection (at the robot's end) or bad home network condition (at the human controller's end).

We have tested Earth Rovers in 10+ cities around the world, logging in thousands of hours of test drives to ensure they perform well in various networking conditions and real-world terrain environments.

These cities include London, Perth, Taipei, Manila, Madrid, Muncie, Wellington, Blekinge, Vienna, Bern, Stockholm, Berlin, Singapore, Liuzhou, Wuhan, Palo Alto, San Diego and more.

However, please note that Earth Rover Zero is still an early-stage prototype-like product that's under rapid development.

We have a number of upcoming features (via free software updates) that will allow robot owners to (1) create unique navigation missions in his local neighborhood, (2) set a rental rate & (3) rent out his Earth Rover to gamers around the world.

Step 1b: Scan QR code with your phone's camera & begin support chat with our *Discord bot (*Discord app required on your phone)

Step 1c: Input "3 Word Key" when requested by Discord bot

Step 1d: Follow instructions on how to setup 4G connection

Step 3b: If your Earth Rover Zero unit couldn't establish any internet connection, reach out to our customer support.

Note: Your "FrodoBot Owner NFT" will be minted directly into your in-app wallet upon successful activation.

Most cities or local councils have no explicit laws against remote-controlled robots, especially given the small toy-like form factor of Earth Rover Zero.

However, please note that you as the robot owner are still ultimately responsible for adhering to any local regulations as these rules may vary widely between jurisdictions.

There may also be concerns about filming in public (although most countries have fairly lax rules on this given the proliferation and ease of live-streaming from mobile phones).

To that end, we've implemented a beta feature of real-time face-blurring of any passers-by who may step near to the front camera of a Earth Rover Zero.

In most cases, merely inserting a 4G SIM card that comes with a data plan should automatically bring your Earth Rover Zero unit online.

However, there may be some cases where local Telcos may have additional username/password that require further setup (via an APN setup).

Our robot registration process contains detailed instructions on how to set this up.

If you still face problems accessing your Earth Rover Zero, feel free to reach out to us via Discord or our customer support.
