Quick answer

Choose the 1-Year Product Repair plan for high-value robots (under $8,000) when you want straightforward accidental damage coverage and prepaid shipping for a single year, without committing to a longer plan.

When a single-year plan makes sense

For expensive robots that you use heavily in classrooms or competitions, the first year often sees the most handling and risk. A 1-year plan covers accidental damage and includes prepaid shipping, so you don't pay out-of-pocket for unexpected repairs during that critical period.

If you plan to upgrade or replace the robot after a year, this plan aligns with your timeline. It avoids paying for coverage beyond your ownership period.

When you might want a different option

If you intend to keep the robot for multiple years, a multi-year plan could offer better long-term value. The 1-year plan renews annually, which may cost more over time than a single multi-year purchase.

For robots valued under $500, the repair plan's cost may be proportionally higher relative to the device's value. In those cases, a replacement plan might be more economical.

Diagnosis: Is the 1-Year Repair Plan right for you?

  • Symptom: You own a high-value robot (over $500, under $8,000) and worry about accidental damage during the first year of heavy use.
  • Likely cause: Robots used in education or competition settings face drops, collisions, and wear that standard warranties may not cover. Accidental damage is common.
  • Corrective action: Purchase the 1-Year Product Repair plan before the standard warranty expires. It covers accidental damage and prepaid shipping for one year from plan start. Check that your robot's value is under $8,000 and that you are within the eligible purchase window.
  • Stop or choose another option: If you plan to keep the robot beyond one year, consider a multi-year plan. If your robot is under $500, compare the repair plan cost to a replacement plan for better value. For long-term ownership, a multi-year plan may save money. For low-value items, a replacement plan could be more practical.
