Releases

The current release build of the new version of Companion. This version is generally stable, and is required for TESI and new ATOS/E versions. See Updating to the latest firmware for detailed instructions on installing development builds, and Best practices for information on modern application development. Back up your controller first, and look for the package Companion on the server. If you have trouble installing that package name, try System instead.

The current beta build of the new version of Companion. This version is generally comparable to the release build in stability as bugs are fixed and features added. See Updating to the latest firmware for detailed instructions on installing development builds, and Best practices for information on modern application development. Back up your controller first, and look for the package System on the server.

The standard operating system for main controllers sold by Nanite Systems. See Updating to the latest firmware for detailed instructions. It is not necessary to update to 8.4.5 if you are already running 8.4.4, and indeed most primary servers and newly-delivered controllers still have 8.4.4.

Security enhancements that allow robots running Companion to wield guns, take damage, and control internal temperature. Detailed installation instructions are available at Updating to the latest firmware. This version requires Companion 8.6.1 or newer. Do not install it on Companion 8.4.

A military operating system that strips away many features of Companion to focus on what combat robots need for low-lag engagements.

The code powering all of our handles and horns, including pose, carry, use, emote, and RLV outfit management functionalities.

The code powering all first-party power cells. Note that the Nightfall/3 and Nightfall/S controllers come bundled with a copyable battery, which can be redelivered through the included XVS redelivery monad. Generation 3 batteries added version checking (necessary for all versions of Companion starting with 8.4.2), auto-positioning, and degradation for power cells other than the metabolic and sonofusion types.

Standard charging platform. Version 4 was a complete redesign that added speed controls. Sold in both copyable and no-copy versions; no-copy chargers must be traded in. Contact rhet0rica for assistance.

Repair and recharge platform for exclusive use by ATOS-enabled robots.

Wireless charge station intended for low-power upkeep of unit power in highly active social areas. Box also includes older 1.2 and 2.3.1 versions. The new 3.0 version is very efficient, but is not as fully featured as earlier versions.

Hand-held repair tool. Robots must have some version of ATOS installed in order to recharge the tool. Does not heal humans using ATOS/H. Can be used and reloaded by humans with or without ATOS/H.

Mixed-functionality platform that can charge, repair ATOS damage, fix malfunctions, detect and resolve some common software problems, and install packages. It also insults you constantly for not taking better care of yourself.

An advanced, aesthetic pose stand with a wide variety of bundled poses, passive charging support, and the ability to automatically activate SuperBit signs.

A bundle of extra software tools, currently including a cron-compatible task scheduler and a proximity sensor. The 8.4 compatible version is still 1.2, released 2018-09-08.

An enclosed display case with a glass front for storing robots. Similar to a demo stand, but includes an overhead sign that can display SuperBit sequences. Newer versions (starting with 2.3) also support door locking, rental features, and enhanced color customization options.

A spinning holographic polyhedron (by default, a cube) that floats over the robot's head and can transform into a rectangular sign. Originally intended for marketing purposes, SuperBits have become outrageously popular for presenting status information such as system integrity level and idle status.

Small light-emitting diodes that animate in a sequence. Speed of animation and pattern depend on power usage rate, charging status, et cetera. Does not display battery level except when charging.

Adjustable gauge targeted at modders. Can parse and display numeric values from a wide range of status messages produced by the controller, including battery level, system integrity, temperature, and more.

Arousal and lubricant management system for units. Still in Early Access for a slightly reduced price.

Core component of TESI, an arousal and lubricant management system, with accompanying open protocols. See developer documentation. Included with TESI Complete (above).

Emotive eyes featuring a grid of 8x8 pixels that can turn on and off to produce interesting patterns.

Wall-mounted power outlets implementing a special charging protocol. The latest version fixes spurious debug messages on American-style outlets and restores copy/mod permissions on all outlet types.
