2.4 Additional Resources

Every Pioneer 1 customer gets three additional and valuable resources: a private

account on ActivMedia’s Internet server for downloading Pioneer software, updates, and
manuals, access to RWI’s private robotics newsgroups, and E-mail access to the Pioneer
1 support team.

2.4.1 Pioneer Web Software Archive

We have a World Wide Web server connected continuously to the Internet where

customers may obtain Pioneer 1 software and support materials. Point your favorite Web
browser to:

http://css.activmedia.com

Some access areas are restricted to licensed customers, including Pioneer owners. To

gain restricted access, use the username and password that are written on the Pioneer 1
Registration & Account Sheet that accompanied your robot.

2.4.2 Pioneer and Saphira Newsgroups

RWI also maintains a special E-mail-based newsgroup for Pioneer 1 owners and

Saphira programmers to share ideas, software, and questions. We strongly encourage you
to sign up. For details, send E-mail:
