    A message from RUR R&D

    Rubi-Ka Universal Robots would like to point out that the current problems affecting automatons of all types are due to extremely powerful solar activity, and definitely not because of a bunch of faulty power cores sold to us by an agent allegedly operating for the NLF.

    Our engineers have recently discovered that these solar flares are affecting bots of all types, not just the highly reliable machines made by RUR, and since solar flares are a natural and unavoidable phenomenon, we will not be liable for anything any robots do during the period of the flares. We would advise customers not to attempt to use their robots until solar activity has returned to acceptable levels.

    Rest assured, during this very trying time our engineering teams are working on various shielding systems to help keep our bots working as they should! There is a software fix being developed to help the bots cope with the effects of this phenomenon, and on the interests of keeping the Robots of Rubi-ka working correctly, we intend this solution would be available to all robots - not just those made by RUR!

    Due to the cross-platforming problems with trying to encompass non-RUR robots this fix might take a little while, but testing is currently underway in our R&D department. In the mean time we hope to complete trials of the Mark III Temporary Shielding System as soon as we can get more tin foil.

    Phew, good to hear this. About time this gets solved!

    Out of curiousity, since my bot was due to be delivered today (sorry haven't yet returned home to see if the RUR delivery bot has been) am wondering if this improvement will be a free upgrade, or one which I'll have to purchase as an immediate upgrade for my newly acquired bot?

    Don't worry, this upgrade will be completely free - having rampaging robots on the loose is very bad for everyone, not least small companies that make very reliable robots indeed.

    Our Technical team have advised us that it's possible that some Robot models will not be equipped to receive this fix automatically, in which case you can retrieve the patch manually from the following grid reference and upgrade your robot as per your user manual

    Here is the location of the fix

    After extensive testing, we are 99.8% sure that this patch will solve the current solar flare issues. Of course, we can't guarentee this will work for every model of robot, especially if they have undergone any "user modification". As a result, the Legal department have asked me to point out that using this fix is entirely at your own risk. If you really don't want to risk it, you'll just have to wait until the current astronomical disturbance subsides.
