According to Bid No. XF-0382-24, the Spartan upgrade will improve the robot's manipulator arm, increase lift capacity, incorporate a palm camera and range finder, and switch to hot-swappable BB2590 batteries, eliminating mission interruptions for battery replacement.
The upgrade will include a thorough disassembly of the current F6A+ robot, involving an assessment and service or replacement of all lift and drive motors within the chassis. Only certified Remotec technicians, using authorized Remotec parts, should perform this task.
Other requirements include:
- All work must be completed by Remotec certified technicians
- All parts must be Remotec approved for the Spartan upgrade
- Products that are Made in America are preferred, but not required
This project may be funded partly or in whole by the federal government.
