My dad wants me to ask yet again - has the EZ-B been delayed or should I expect it to arrive by early february?

The ez-b was delayed from its original release on December 4. The new date is suggested to be January for those who bought early. People who buy now should expect a months delay.

That's what I understand.

Okay, I ordered mine November 28th. If it comes by January / early February, my dad shouldn't cancel it.

We're in a limbo position as we wait to hear about the manufacturing delivery... Because we do not have the ability at our little office in Calgary to manufacture plastic pieces and EZ-B's - we're at the mercy of the manufacturing facility. However, the time frame is something they're working on fitting into their schedule. The toughest part is Chinese New Year - which is like 3 weeks long! I mean, great for them, but pretty terrible timing for us

We had tried really hard to find north American manufacturers for our product. Sadly, the prices weren't double or triple - they were 10-100 times more! Also, most north American manufacturers never got back to us with quotes. We really tried hard to have our product manufactured at home, but that sadly won't happen due to those reasons shrug

I understand if your dad is concerned - and it is concerning to people who are used to purchasing products with availability. Our product was sold in pre-order... our own source of crowd funding. You can present this message to your father, as he may find it useful to have his concerns addressed by the founder of the company

Don't feel alone in your pre-order, there are many thousands of people like you who are anxious. And for that, we are super appreciative! This product couldn't have been created without pre-orders.

We had worked hard for a while to obtain investment funding to create Revolution. Sadly, the investment world is a game that my personality wasn't designed for. I'd like to think that I have a strong soul with integrity and respect. The investment world of VC's put strange values on your hard work and their only goal is to take as much of your company as possible.

There is a huge future for EZ-Robot, and Revolution is only one small part of our potential. Giving 50% of my company away to a VC would prevent us from having future products. We would essentially end up like Sphero or Romotive - and that's not what we want.

Our hardware and software has enterprise potential. Which means, if someone were to create a new product it would make sense to build it around our product - rather than re-inventing the wheel. That is the future of EZ-Robot that I dream of... I would like EZ-Robot to be the "Intel Inside" of robotics.

Anyway, back to your pre-order concerns. To put all the cards on the table - the absolute only issue we have is manufacturing time. The product absolutely works. The product is absolutely complete. In fact, I just finished filming a video which we will upload tomorrow that is an entire walk-through of what the heck Revolution is.... A video that truly answers every question any of you have.

I know that videos don't compete with having the real thing in your hand. However, it's the best that we can do to show you our sincerity work with your patience.

Again, non of this would be possible without your pre-order support. And for that, EZ-Robot and the future of our contribution to robotics in the world thanks you!

Thanks for the info - I'll show what you said to my dad, hopefully he calms down about "being scammed"

Nice post DJ. Thanks for the info. It's good to hear from you on this subject. I don't think there is anyone here that have any doubts about EZ Robots or your product. It's just that Christmas Eve syndrome we're all suffering from. We're call just a bunch of kids that cant wait for tomorrow.

I'm sort of with Rich on this. I knew it was going to be a "It gets here when it gets here" situation. I've no doubts it will get here. I also collect Transformers and Japan has Winterfest which pretty much shuts the country down for 2 weeks so I completely understand the delays. I'd rather have a well made product than some rush job to meet the demand.

As far as cloning crap, all I'm gonna say is, they did make 2 Smurf movies. If that ain't cloning crap, I don't know what is. ( That was a joke. I don't want to offend any die-hard Smurf fans out there )

Didn't take long for the Apple ][ to be cloned People say we're the Apple of robotics... Let's hope we don't experience those issues!
