Remote control: Plaintext TCP commands to port 40923 (e.g.
chassis speed x 0.3;) from any language; H.264 video on 40921. The official pip SDK needs Python 3.6–3.8 and its video decoder breaks on Apple Silicon.Overview
Great hardware with an arm and a text API any language can drive from a laptop, but it's end-of-life, the Python SDK is frozen on old Python, and short runtime plus slippery mecanum wheels make it a poor house roamer. Only worth it as a cheap used find.
