If any of the materials are missing, please contact [email protected]. FPO 5 1 While these wheels may look similar to the Recon Scout ® XL wheels, they are a new design. They can be utilized on Recon Scout XL or Recon Scout CT with Flex Pack robots, but the Recon Scout XL wheels from the Recon Scout XL robot or Flex Pack will not afford the same drop ratings as the new wheels and should not be used on a Throwbot 2 robot. 2 While this tail may look similar to the Recon Scout XL or Recon Scout CT tail, the mounting mechanisms are different and they cannot be interchanged. 3 The Throwbot 2 robot’s Picatinny Rail is not interchangeable with the Recon Scout CT's Picatinny Rail. The following accessories are available for the Throwbot 2 robot. Please contact your local ReconRobotics representative for pricing and availability. RUGGED XL (RXL) CONVERSION KIT This kit provides the RXL style wheels and tail necessary to convert a Throwbot 2 base robot into the Rugged XL configuration. All necessary tools for performing the change are included in the kit. CARRY AND TOW (CT) CONVERSION KIT This kit provides the Picatinny rail, CT style wheels, and RXL tail to reconfigure the Throwbot 2 base robot into the Carry and Tow configuration. All necessary tools for performing the change are included in the kit. DELUXE CONVERSION KIT This kit provides the contents of both the Rugged XL Conversion Kit and Carry and Tow Conversion Kit in a single package. AUDIO AND VIDEO OUT CABLING PACKAGE This package allows you to capture video and audio from the Throwbot 2 robot onto a 3rd party device via the outputs on the ACCESSORIES FOR THE THROWBOT 2 ROBOT OCU. The cabling package includes RCA and BNC cables. RECON SCOUT ® SEARCHSTICK™ The Recon Scout SearchStick pole enables tactical and patrol personnel to instantly convert any Throwbot 2 robot into a versatile pole camera. The SearchStick pole has a collapsed length of 20.5" (52cm) and can be extended to a length of 72" (183cm). COMMAND MO…
