@Tony... LOL.... EZ:2 doesn't have to fight... he can just out smart them...

My hope is that the XLR1 will make it through the kickstarter and start being produced so that I can get my hands on one. I want to use this and an inmoov to continue to develop an AI. Tony has been kind enough to share some great ideas on how to make a great AI like what he has developed. I would love to get Tony's bot but it is going to be cost prohibitive to get to the U.S. it looks like. He has definitely put a lot of work into his AI and what he has shown of it is great. I am sure once the XLR1 is in production, and more people get their hands on this platform, it will become far more than what it is now. Anthony and Tony both have some great skills and we are lucky that they are willing to share with the community.

If Anthony were to say... "share" his stls with you David or Rich... even me... You ( or we as a community) could print a copy of XLR. Use it produce some really decent software. Anthony could release this "community software" as part of the purchase of XLR1 to his customers... I wouldn't want any money of course ... just access to the STLs... Of course we would all agree to not ever share the files with anyone else....

Just a thought

@bborastero

Hilarious! Although I think @Richard R's InMoov should referree, and serve me booze while I watch my Doom crush the children's robots...

@Richard R

I think EZ:2 is fiberglass, and fiberglass is not plastic, unless some of the panels are plastic. Sure, XLR-One is PLA for now, but wait till @Anthony and I partner up (if we do) and reproduce him in better materials!

@Toymaker

Love how the EZ:2 evolved so much, however I never got those motors you promised me? Everything cool?

I think intelligence-wise, Doombot is the dumbest because he is NOT autonomous (strictly R/C only). Maybe that's why he's the referree? It's gonna be different with Dirge though, I already talked to a reputable programmer on here in private (shhhh secret!) so watch out!

I think Doom Is still the best as he is METALLLLLL! \m/ \m/ \m/

Anyway this is great guys kinda like Celebrity Death Match!

I would definately be interested in helping Ant out. I had thought about asking him to do this, but decided to help his kickstarter and start working on this after I got the robot. I would love to work with others on a community version of an app to help him out. I am even thinking about two versions of an AI. One would be community and one would be commercial based on which speech engine is used. I am pretty sure that XLR wants to be android driven which limits some capabilities but makes it extremely mobile.

@David.... I would love to help too... I am not as an accomplished programmer as you or Rich, but I am pretty sure I have something to offer Anthony programming wise... I think that if Anthony can provide XLR1 with a Example Project (much like DJ did with his Revolution bots Roli, JD and Six) he would then have a full comprehensive robot package to offer his customers....

@Doombot... No doubt a collaboration between you and Anthony could produce probably the best designed and built bots on here... You guys just need someone to produce software for it....

@Doombot, I sent the motors out months ago (surface mail) maybe I got the address wrong or they just got lost? Here is a jpeg of the package that was sent.

If you still need these motors, I will send another shipment but will need to check if I have your right address.
