Latest news from URG/Aldebaran regarding NAO repairs and the newest price list.
Hello dear RobCupers!
after we struggled with not being able to offer you warranty extensions anymore last year.
You guys helped us finding a new solution to cope with the out of warranty repairs that will be usable from today on.
I know this might be a little short notice considering the GO starting next week, but we hope this will help you and your universities plan the budgets for upcoming NAO repairs more conveniently.
We now offer RoboCup Repair Vouchers! The Voucher will come at a Cost of 5.000€ plus VAT and grant you 10 Repairs on your NAO fleet. You can use your voucher onsite at RoboCup events and also for the Repair Center in 2 years time after purchase. *
Most important thing: When ordering a Voucher you will get a voucher number. Every time you want to use one of your purchased voucher-repairs, you will have to submit this number, onsite at the Event or in your Ticket for the repair center.
This offer is currently only available for the European Teams, that are managed by United Robotics Group as the European Master Distributor for RoboCup. The Master Distributors in the other regions are still able to sell the 1 year repair packages.
In Summary you now can get:
* 1 RoboCup Repair Voucher:
- *5.000€ plus VAT *
- *10 Repairs total *
- *usable on all your out of warranty robots *
- *usable on the event and in the repair center *
- *valid for 2 years after purchase *
Of course the regular repair center repairs on cost estimates and the one time repairs for the events (440€ plus VAT) are still available as well.
We hope this solution will allow you to keep using your out of warranty robots and be more flexible with repairing them while being able to better plan budgets with your institutes.
I am very much looking forward to seeing you next week!
Eva
