Event planning checklist

1. Battery and breaks. Unitree lists about 2 hours of battery life for the G1 (source). Ask how many batteries come with the booking, or plan sets with breaks.
2. Lead time. Airbot recommends booking 1–2 weeks ahead for popular models (source); Tempo Robots shows 2 days lead time for its US G1 (source).
3. Run of show. Weston Robot asks for a run-of-show and brand brief at least 14 days before the event (source).
4. Insurance and deposit. Weston Robot asks clients to buy any third-party insurance for their audience and property (source); Tempo Robots takes a US$3,499 refundable deposit per G1 in the US (source). ZMProbots says damage cover is included on every booking (source).
5. Floor and space. Carpet and flat concrete are the most reliable surfaces according to ZMProbots (source). Unitree advises keeping a safe distance between the robot and people (source).
6. Travel. Outside a vendor's home city, travel is usually quoted on top (for example The Robot Studio outside Dallas–Fort Worth).
