Tony, your web site is awesome. I agree with the others that your robots are well worth the price! Other sites sell robot toys and small development platforms with just a chassis and 4 wheels for more than your entire robot! See some examples from RobotShop.com

minibot $4,990

corobot$4,395

genibo-robot-dog $1,729

bioloid-gp-grand-prix-humanoid-robot $2,799

They even have a robot claw....just a claw....listed for $18,000 !

adaptive-gripper

And these are just a few examples of what others are selling. Look how much more advanced your robots are and how good of a deal you are giving! And your bots are the kind we all drool over. Not just some little erector set with 4 wheels and a battery.

Keep up the good work sir. Your robots will be legendary!

Best Regards, Rex

@Doombot, anyone who can build killer mind blowing Axes like you and feature them with wicked half naked women is a success in my book. cool

University of Rich, LOL, I will see what I can do! I need to start making some money on this at some point, I personally have already spent over £100,000 already just on the EZ;1 and EZ;2 robots, and if I factored in my labor it would be twice that probably approaching £250,000.

My $3000 cost (for the basic model) is because I would be selling it direct and this would be after I have achieved volume manufacture costing levels from the FE (far east), if it goes through a distributor/retailer it is likely to be around $4500 after they add their markups, this is why I want to sell direct.

The only way I can see how to get to volume manufacturing costing levels is by selling into the education market first where it could be possible to sell large numbers, assuming that the robot is taken up. Anyway that is the current business plan.

Tony

You probably answer this question already, probably miss it. What is the expected height.

Not trying to Hijack your thread but Have anyone seen this http://www.drrobot.com/products_hawk.asp , price for a base model is $7500. I can't speak for anyone else, but impatiently waiting for you bot to be available to the public. Your work is amazing, will be willing to pay that $4500 price tag in the U.S. No offense to XL-robots, I think it is two different markets. He is selling a kit, a shell dedicated more for the DIY. I wanted one and I am getting one, but once I did the math of the specific parts combo I want, it will be in the 2 to 3k price range.

I LOVE your works.

Apologies for any grammatical errors.

Oh you.... ...making me blush

@Pj_Dtechy, thanks for the great comments!

The EZ:2 robot height is a little over 4 foot.
