Not yet.... And if you haven't ordered yet, you'll be at the back of the line (meaning shipping for orders placed now will take even longer).... I ordered mine late September 2013 so I have been waiting nearly 4 months... We're kinda' all in the same boat...

If you haven't ordered yet be aware that DJ mentioned the other day that there is a backlog of a couple of months.

But no, to my knowledge none have shipped yet. We are hoping to see shipping start late January from the sounds of it but nothing is certain.

wooh thats long

Yes, it's frustrating having to wait these past 4 months and another one to wait. However there are other projects and family and home to keep busy on.

Watching the new releases and reading DJ notes on how they will enhance ARC to work with the V4 also makes me anxious. It's kinda like giving a kid a set on batteries on Christmas and telling them that they're going to get a real cool toy to use them with in a few months. tired

I agree... confused confused confused confused j

Hey guys,

I wanted to address the idea of clone hardware. If someone were to clone the EZ-Bv3 or v4 they would have to go through us anyway to be able to access the software, remember DJ is the guy the writes our code and can change ARC at any point to get around clone hardware I don't think it'd be reasonable for a company to try to do this. So simply put, clones won't work with ARC unless we give them our stamp of approval.

On another note we have a professional relationship with Trossen Robotics and they are very good at producing their own ideas & products, I am extremely confident that they aren't trying to clone our product.

Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you guys that as much as you guys want the EZ-Bv4 at your door now, we at EZ-Robot want it more! (Well maybe just as much) Remember, we are a team of Robot enthusiasts as well and we want to use these robots too!

I was chatting to an Ez-Robot guy via Facebook messenger and received the following polite and reasonable responce. The fact that I received a responce within 12 hours was impressive, most web based companies you would be waiti days, weeks or forever for a responce.

"Hello,

Thank you for your email! We are anticipating to begin shipping February 2014 as we are in the final stages of setting up our manufacturing facility. At the moment, we unfortunately do not have any products available for purchase.

We provide semi-daily updates to all of our customers via the EZ-Robot Community Forum. If you haven't already, join our growing community of amazing EZ-Robot builders: www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/

Thanks, and Happy Building!"

I asked abut the back order situation because I hadn't orderd as yet and received the following:

"It depends on when the order was made. Those customers who ordered their products first will receive them first. All new orders will be shipped around the middle to end of February."

So... It's not to long to wait now. I'm an impatient person at the best of times but I would rather get my v4 in perfect working order rather than a rush job and from what I can see from the other users experiences with the hardware, it's always well built.

Thanks

You would be surprised what you can find that's been cloned! They do clone crap, although I agree with you that copying is the biggest form of flattery. Even if they would work (which they wouldn't) then you're going to get what you pay for and with a clone you wouldn't get support when the item goes wrong (and it will since clones generally use cheaper parts and cut corners).

Anyway, back to the delivery... I may be alone in the fact I'm not staring at the mailbox every second waiting for a package to drop through but I hope I'm not alone in thinking that it's best not to rush manufacturer and have future issues. Get it right then get them to us

I'm sure EZ-Robots are doing everything in their power to get these to us as soon as they can, after all they can't be receiving any revenue from sales at the moment so clearing the backlog is no doubt right at the top of the list.

We all know it'll be worth the wait
