Should be fine - that’s a pretty powerful gaming laptop.
It looks like it comes with a Windows OS.

im waiting to purchase the hovis eco but im not sure when it will come. any admins might know when they come?

The Hovis Eco robots are normally ordered more “on demand” so it’s important to place your order even if the product is not in stock. This reserves the unit when we place our next order.
It seems we have an order arriving in ~26 days, but all of those units are reserved.

i just finished building the hovis eco. where do i get the dr sim download?

Hi,

Please check here for the downloads.

Sincerely,

I don’t know why but my hovis eco isn’t working. I press the mode button then right then ok to put it into remote mode but now it doesn’t work it just makes a beep like an error. It was working before. Please help

Hi,

We are investigating your issue and will get back to you with more information shortly.

In the meantime, could you tell us anything else that may have happened to the Hovis Eco since it last worked? It was working fine before you placed it in remote mode?

Have you checked the documentation for a hard reset of the product?

Sincerely,

:cry: Hi I just finished building hovis Eco it was working fine and walking around until now. Every time i try to enter the program on the robot it doesn’t work please help thanks

Hello,

Thank you for contacting RobotShop.

We have contacted the manufacturer and asked for more information about your issue. We will get back to you as soon as we get a reply.

In the meantime, if you can provide us with any more information about this issue (ex: what you think caused the situation, what steps were taken to attempt to fix it, etc.) it may be helpful in finding a solution.

Sincerely,

I want to enter remote mode ( mode button then right button then ok button) before it was working fine but now it doesn’t work gives me like an error beep

My hovis eco plus robot just stopped working for no apparent reason. i think it needs a new controller. anyone can provide a link to buy a new one?
Thanks,

Unfortunately we do not sell the controller separately. If you’d like, we can put you in touch with the manufacturer to see if they can sell one to you.

can the hovis lite controller work with the hovis eco as a replacemnt? thanks

Hi,

This Hovis Lite Motion controller : robotshop.com/en/hovis-motio … oller.html is the same controller of the Hovis Eco Plus. The only difference is the color (Hovis Eco Plus controller is white).

Regards,

Is it also preprogrammed like the hovis Eco?

It’s important to note that the Hovis Motion Controller, although green rather than white, may work as well since the Hovis Eco Plus robot uses the same type of servos as the Hovis Lite.
