This is honestly the coolest idea I've ever come across. I used to play a game called MindRover extensively, where you built a robot to do various things (like race, capture the flag or fights to the death) and then played against the computer or your friends. I recently resurrected the game to play with a friend of mine who's an electrical engineer. The game had a simplified, no-code approach to programming your robot.
From what I've seen on this site so far I'm very, very impressed. I am a mobile / desktop applications developer (and I have extensive knowledge of C#) and am going to have so, so much fun with my first ez robot - and 2nd, and 3rd. If I'm having as much fun as I think I'm going to, I'm likely getting a 3d printer.
I've offered to build my 64 year old mother a robot for Christmas and she wants it to do some fun things I'm looking forward to coding - like she wants it to be able to quote famous people and historical works of fiction and non-fiction when she asks it to. I am definitely coding any bots I make to be able to google stuff for me whenever I ask them.
Anyhow - I just wanted to say that what you're doing is great and I'm probably going to be an avid customer, user, developer and community member.
Cheers!

So, are all orders delayed until Nov / Dec ? Or just complete bots?
I really like the fact that you're focusing on education and allowing people to extend the platform - even design and print their own parts. The entire idea is genius and I really hope this continues the way it is.
I've been thinking of all the cool things I could possibly do since I saw your ad. I've also been texting my friend I mentioned before, I think we may race our robots around a track somewhere using waypoints of some kind.
Also, you caught my attention from a facebook ad - great idea, keep that up, there's tons of people out there who'd love this idea if they've found it!
I'm very excited to be here, and I did see the SDK - I'm very much looking forward to seeing what craziness I can come up with.
The ideas keep coming to me, really.
