Hi @rohbotics ,
I emailed you please let us know how to fix it ?
Since we are dealing with HW ,I think it is good that we come to your office ( we are in Santa Clara) and get it fixed.

@davecrawley should have emailed you with information on getting you a replacement powerjack/swichboard.

Please note that the robot you have is a engineering sample, and the production robots have a different, stronger power jack on them, so you should have less issues in the future.

Something like this should get you charging in the meantime.

Another option: https://www.batterymart.com/p-jac0224-c-schauer-24-volt-2-amp-charger-rings.html, price comes about about the same after factoring in 2 Day shipping however.

By the way thank you for this report. The next iteration of Magni (the version that is currently shipping) has an improved design around this part - it should be much stronger and break less frequently.
