Has anyone played with an Awabot/Suitable Tech Beam+ telepresence robot?

A user bought an old Beam+ telepresence robot from FB Marketplace; its battery was dead, and after powering it with a desktop power supply it booted successfully, but authentication could not be completed because the software points to a server that has been taken offline. They asked Awabot about a software update or system image, and also found papers and GitHub repositories referencing the old ROS project and added sensors, as well as a video showing commands sent manually to drive the robot and capture its video stream.
