Any Hear Say About Shipping Dates Yet?

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.

Agree with Rich. The fast growth of a company can sometimes take a step in the wrong direction. The Revolution has postponed the rollout of V4. My expressed opinion in a prior thread was that these plastic robot parts were going to get in the way of the development of what is the core of EZ Robot, the unique PCB and software.

But, to their defense, a weekly update would serve no purpose if there was no new information to report. It seems the past months have been all about manufacture in China. There certainly was a hard lesson learned by the EZ Robot staff. I'm sure it wont happen again in the future.

All we can do is wait for delivery. I have a product going up on Kickstarter that depends solely on the EZB. I can't wait until June/July to launch the product, so I will most likely have to use V3 for the Kickstarter campaign. A disappointment with all that v4 has to offer. Certainly after watching the China manufacturing unfold, all parts will be manufacture in the USA under my control:)

What would be neat is a almost blog style approach with updates every couple days with what's going on. What I do for my business customers at tmobile is talk them through the process with updates of what I have been doing and progress as I go every 24 to 48 hours. The updates are usually minimal of course but it keeps the end business customer engaged. When setting up infrastructure of dozens or hundreds of interconnected cellphone, smartphone , and data devices it is a huge undertaking and without those frequent updates my customers would feel that we are dragging our feet to get their new communications network setup.

I said weekly because of the previous information given has been somewhat unreliable (for want of a better word). A simple, "we are still on course" or "slight problem with the mould for JDs head may delay by a week". It's been mentioned elsewhere (and witnessed on the cams) that they have daily meetings to keep the team up to speed, I just feel at this time, after the delays it would help some of the community to know the state of play.

Just regularly keep us in the loop with either "all's still OK" or "JDs head needs mods, may be slight delays", nothing major, no 6 page message explaining it all, just brief but true and accurate information to keep us in the loop. That would at least help put my mind at ease.

Oh, and why are the cameras off, dark.... ? Nobody at the office at this time of day? I guess after that painful delay "yet again" announcement they must of pulled up stakes and blew out of Dodge?:D
