Upgrade to ARC Pro
Harnessing the power of ARC Pro, your robot can be more than just a simple automated machine.
Here are instructions on how to install a program on your computer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/install-program#1TC=windows-7
*Note: However, there will be many additional challenges to make a robot if you do not know how to install a program.
If you know how to install a program, that's a great step. The next is check the following...
1) Are you using at minimum Windows 7? The ARC software is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10
2) Is a virus scanner running that could prevent the installation? I assure you that our software is safe. I wrote it entirely myself and there are no exploits, viruses or spyware. It's the safest software you have ever downloaded
3) Rebooting is always a good idea with Windows.
4) Are you installing as an Administrator? If you do not have administrative privilege on your PC, it might cause issues.
Electronics has an import duty rate of 4.7% and a VAT rate of 20%, you may find that some couriers will also add a handling fee too.
