<R65> The control system is provided to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS. The Operator Interface, Robot Controller, speed controllers, relay modules, radio modems, batteries, battery charger, AC adapter, and 9-pin cables can not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way, (tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, etc.) with the following exceptions:
• Dip switches on the Operator Interface may be set as appropriate.
• User programmable code in the Robot Controller may be customized.
• Speed controllers may be calibrated as described in owner's manuals.
• The fuse on the Spike relay for the air compressor may be replaced with a 20 Amp Snap-Action circuit breaker.
The last bullet of <R65> is very clear and does solve the problem permanently.
