Ez-Robot Manufacturing Updates - Ask Me Anything!

I would love to have a group style chat with any customers interested to answer a whole bunch of questions at once! Either a Reddit style AMA or a group Conference call would be great! If AMA is the way to go, I just need a few recommendations on what service we should use.

I find answering questions in real time is a bit easier compared to reading a whole bunch of questions, and then working backwards on each one. Let me know what you guys think!

Additionally after we decide and make this event happen, I will start a new thread to post regular updates in (to keep all the updates in one place).

Jason Zeiler, Thank you for responding, Jason, My first order (11/27/2013) was EZB4, cables, and clip and play servo mounts? Maybe I will have delivery in July because of the servo mounts? Is there any way to move the clip and play servo mounts to my later orders? Second and third orders will be later. Thanks, Steve S

@Jason Zeiler

Your answer to Steve brought up a new question. Will the camera shell be available in the store? I sort of expected it would have one when I ordered the 2 developer kits (although I didn't expect a shell for the EZ-B itself, so that is a plus). It is not critical path. One of the cameras I would have probably been removing the shell if it had one, but the other is going to sit on top of a "Roli Neck" pan and tilt bracket, so I don't really want it to be "naked".

I see you already have the shell for the distance sensors, and I expect to be ordering several (for my new sensors and for the three I already own) and probably a bunch of other EZ-Bits apart from the ones I already ordered, once I determine what I will need to put everything together.

@Steve S - Yes, I can shift some items which may speed up the time it takes to ship you your orders. As long as every customer doesn't request the same, it will work out. Email me directly [email protected]

@thetechguru - The camera shell will be available in the store. All of the individual plastic components will be available for purchase and for replacement purchases. They will be released once the final mold has been created and designs have been finalized for every component we sell:)

General update - We will start shipping all of the First Batch Pre-Orders next week. After some rigorous testing, we thankfully found a small bug that was easy to fix, but would have caused headaches down the road. We originally planned to ship this week, but wanted to make sure everything was fully tested as this is the first time any customers will have the EZ-B v4 in their hands. We want the experience to be amazing! Hooray for testing!

Will an order just for an ez-b v include the plastic housing? Because I don't want it. Mine is a total custom bot

@drephreak - The EZ-B v4 comes with a case that is very easy to remove for custom robots:)

Jason Zeiler, Thank you for responding. I will leave my all my orders alone, with no special requests. EZ Robot has enough on their plate. Looking forward to EZB 4! Thank You, Steve S

Bump! I know you guys are busy but I just want to keep up with current progres. I am both impatient and nosy so I apologize in advance.

  1. The EZ-Bv4 case, Power Shell Case and Clip'n'Play Lever Servo: These items are being molded right now. The samples will be ready next week and will take a few days to ship to our office. We should see them the last week of April.

-- Is this still on track?

  1. Six designs have come back and we made some minor adjustments to the molds with our design group. It will take 5-6 days to get them back, look them over, and then send them off for molds to start.

-- Were you able to get the molds made for Six?

  1. JD is going through some final touch ups this week and will be submitted next week for mold design.

-- Was mold design for JD completed as anticipated?

  1. We are working on the Roli design this week and will submit it for review next week with our design group.

-- What is the current design status of Roli?

Thanks!

And just to top off - - - - What is the present status of the hand-built EZB(V4)s ?
