New Adventure Bot. Seriously Good Deal For $169

Question

Considering just a camera and an ezb4 is $158.... $11 more and look at all the extra stuff you get!

Rich · Answer

I hadn't even noticed that was added. I could use all of that (well not the servos or wheels) for a project I'm working on but haven't had the heart to take Six apart yet. Hmm... store credit burning a hole in my pocket again

orwnic82 · Answer

seems like a very good deal compared to purchasing the parts separately

Steve G · Answer

That really is a good deal. Adding this to my shopping list as I have a great idea for using this. I saw the guys in the front office playing with something the other day. Now I know what they were. The EZ-games sound interesting. Adventure Bot

Doombot · Answer

What exactly does it come with? I'm still needing to get my V4 Dev Kit, but I may go with this...All the pictures include different parts...front pic has a distance sensor, another has a batt charger and different bit numbers... confused

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Doombot... I assume what is in the pictures... I know it doesn't come with any HD servos which the dev kit has.... But the dev kit doesn't come with any ez bits....

Steve G · Answer

I think this is what's included...  Maybe someone from EZ HQ could confirm!

Steve S · Answer

Doombot, I wondered the same thing about the distance sensor, either way it is a great introduction robot for the price, similar hardware to my grandsons robot with a balancing tail bar and continuous servo movement. It even has a camera! I am tempted to purchase one for another grandson! Steve S

Jason · Answer

@Steve G - You are Correct. The picture above shows the kit contents. More details coming soon

Doombot · Answer

@Jason There's a charger but no battery?

Steve G · Answer

Thanks for confirming Jason. I'm definitely getting at least one. I think the battery is in the base (not pictured).

Alan · Answer

@doombot the battery is in the base, just as @Steve G guessed. More details to come including full item list and description.

Steve S · Answer

Alan, I think this bot will be another great addition to EZ Robots offering! Steve S

thetechguru · Answer

That is a great little intro for someone who needs a little more "plug and play" than the developer's kit but wants an introductory price point. Alan

Doombot · Answer

Quote:BOOM! That just killed every microcontroller rover! Well done EZ-Robot! Smile That's what I thought! This is literally gonna destroy every other robot intro kit in existence! That pricepoint is ridiculous!

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Marc Quote: That pricepoint is ridiculous!... Shhhhhsh... they will hear you and up the price...

Nomad 6R · Answer

execelent beginners robot.do rear wheel would be great.

bhouston · Answer

Oh good they released it. I saw it last week, when I stopped in at EZ Robot in Calgary. It's a great idea, a simple robot that would be easy to add sensors and other Ez -Bits to.

rb550f · Answer

When you click on shop for ez robot store it says available from authorized retailers,but i dont see one available.Is it only available after March 1st from any store ?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@rb550f The ez robot store is closed until Mar 1st... Has been for the last 2 weeks.... You can't buy anything (including the Adventure Bot) until March 1st....

Rich · Answer

Authorised Retailers This bot may not be available from them yet but that's the list of retailers.

bborastero · Answer

on the contents and dimensions tab you might want to change how many cameras you get 1 x Hexapod Body (includes battery) 2 x Continuous Rotation Servo with Wheel 1 x ez-bv4 Wi-Fi Robot Controller 1 x ezrobot ez-bv4 Camera 1 x LiPo Battery Balancer Charger 1 x Hexapod Foot 6 x ezrobot ez-bv4 Camera 2 x Extension Block blush

Rich · Answer

I guess that should be 6 x extension cubes (which fyi are sooo useful!). Although 7 cameras total, plus an EZ-B for that price, that would be awesome!

Alan · Answer

Thanks for the heads up @bborastero! I've changed it to 6 x Extension Cubes much as @Rich guessed. Nice work

jstarne1 · Answer

It's a gateway robot , lower price gets kids and hobbiest adults in the door with using ez robot! Good idea!

Orangejoe · Answer

Was looking at Create 2 and other "intro" kits, but at $169 (hopefully free shipping from authorized dealers!) this it THE kit to get. Good balance of plug and play with expandability.

Sounds like a great way for ez-robot to get people invested in their software and ez-bv4 hardware.

I'm no where near their retail stores (actually can't seem to find any retail location beyond the one in Calgary) so I'll wait the two days until march first.

Orangejoe · Answer

Adventure Bot?. Still coming?

Alan · Answer

@Orangejoe - Adventure Bot is still coming. There is a lot of planning that goes behind a robot being launched at such an affordable price point. Soon

DJ Sures · Answer

This Friday! I heard Alan commit to it yesterday to Jake - secret's out!

thetechguru · Answer

Hmm.. Just in time for my birthday next week.... Alan

Andy Roid · Answer

@Orangejoe and Alan, It's here! Happy Birthday!

thetechguru · Answer

I think almost here. No price yet (but I can add to my cart with $0 so maybe I should order now  Alan

Andy Roid · Answer

I DID 6:30am THIS MORNING, 2:30am DJ time ... LOL ... I got the price ok and step 1 confirmation.. Birthday is coming..... Hey, by the way, I think they still have lever servos in the garage sale. I bought 3 and if the paypal price with shipping looks good, I may get 6 more if they still have them. I have a new toy I am thinking of building and the cheaper lever servos would fit my budget. The price is right even if they are a little used. Ron

Orangejoe · Answer

@thetechguru It still says "Coming Soon" but the price shows up if you add to cart. BTW, the current price in cart is lower than the price on the thread title! eek

thetechguru · Answer

When I tested this morning it was from my phone, so might have worked regular browser. DJ did hint last week that some prices were dropping. Alan

thetechguru · Answer

And the Add to cart buttons have just been removed. Guess they aren't quite ready for orders.... Alan

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

All the Revolution Bots just dropped in price.... DJ and ez robot are obviously havin' fun at our expense.... LOL... DJ... you're just being cruel now...

Nomad 6R · Answer

howlong will the prize drop last?

Alan · Answer

Better add everything to your cart quickly @Richard R! Prices are here to stay

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

@Alan... you guys are seriously cruel.... Oh, I plan on buying as soon as you guys add the 4 in 1 orientation sensor to the online store... So that'll learn ya'

Doombot · Answer

@Dj ,@Alan Dude! I ordered an 18 led RGB block, this morning around 6am for 29.99...a few hours later it's $19.99! Can I get a raincheck or store credit here or do I have to cancel my order and order it again? Thanks guys I was planning on getting more stuff actually nice price drop!

Nomad 6R · Answer

am waiting to for the gyro's

Alan · Answer

@doombot - Of course we can get you sorted! Use the Contact Us page and tell us your order number

Steve G · Answer

Hey guys. The shop is looking great with all the new stuff (and price drop of course;)). Are there still plans on releasing the RGB 8x8 LED array that was mentioned?

Alan · Answer

@Steve G - We don't put new items in the store until after we have gone through the first couple revisions of prototypes and have started the sourcing/ purchasing of large batch quantities for manufacturing. We still had the RGB array in our list of planned releases

Steve G · Answer

That's cool. Thanks Alan. I was just checking to see if the 8x8 was still on the cards was all.
