I am asking this question, because I think a lot of us are wanting to know when we might be getting our preorders, I know some are supposed to ship from Canada next week, but what about the ones coming from China, I thought this time in March things were supposed to start shipping? Many of us are looking to get are first robots up and running, not doing any good just drawing dust :-{ I might be able to get others interested in robots, but I have to have an alive one to show people what can be built.
Hey DJ,
Thanks for the update .... I don't think anyone wants to get off the bus at this stage .... it's just nice to know if the end is in sight
It would be great if Jason's forthcoming update gave a rough plan of what timings you are aiming for - even if it was a rough date against month of order and I do appreciate that it's hard. From your post it looks like 1-2 more months I guess. Fingers crossed that you and the team are on the home straight now and that the wind is behind you.
Cheers,
Jay
Jason's challenge over the past month (literally the entire month) has been to obtain an exact date of delivery. He's confident in the timeline and we will update you shortly - I don't fully know the timeline yet either, so it'll be new info for all of us
The reason why the date has been hard to determine is due to the number of players involved. For example, there is a completely different company for each one of these responsibilities:
So, that's pretty much all of the companies involved - it's pretty crazy to think about it
. Given that we have been waist deep in this process, I'm realizing why so many KickStarter projects fail. We have discussed creating a short documentary video of the experience to share with other start-ups. Hopefully we can help prevent other companies from thinking this process is a breeze - and perhaps we can help support other start-up projects with their injection/manufacturing requirements...
DJ, thank you for the lengthy input update :-} I am just overly anxious to get my robot up and moving and talking and showing people what I have been working on over the winter. By the time I get the Developers Kit and other things I have on order, the body should be painted and everything should all be attached, just waiting for the V4 to be put in place and powered to go, then the fun part begins, like teaching a new born baby :-} I don't know what's worse, waiting for the V4 to ship or waiting for the weather to warm up so I can put color on my robot out in the garage? I also have another secret I am waiting on, something that is very different and I haven't seen anyone else do on here yet, supposed to get a delivery this week, I will post pictures as I progress :-}
We would love to see it stone wolf
Stay tuned! We are just putting the final touches on the update and confirming dates with our manufacturer.
now i feel guilty for pestering you guys about the delivery date
i for one, truly appreciate the detailed information on why it is not in my hands yet!
I don't know about you guys, but I feel like a race horse with the gate about to drop....
Gentleman ...start your engines!
Patience is a virtue for sure! Good things come in small packages, 2" x 2" (open the ring box and its an EZ-B V4)
