I cancelled my order for JD. Now to be fair I mainly did because we are relocating to Los Angeles and that is more the focus right now than hobbies.
Also I cancelled my order because other than the revolution video I haven't seen JD doing anything. I understand everyone at EZ is busy but unfortunately I really didn't know what I was getting. And when it comes to making purchases I am the research king. I was putting faith that JD was what I expected it to be.
The point of this post isn't to complain but just to simply provide some feedback to EZ as to why I cancelled my order.
Once we get moved I am fully prepare to place an order for another robot but at this point I am in a wait and see mode when it comes to JD especially. So EZ, getting some videos up of JD doing stuff would be great. I think he has great possibility and I am sure other people are awaiting videos as well.
Thanks guys!
Yay! I got mentioned again
You're right Rich, both DJ and I got him walking though DJ did it within the hour. Like Six has now, JD will most likely have an Example Project in ARC that includes code to get him walking
Ha, yes yes I know sorry
We had to send the robots out to two more magazines for photos... We can't seem to keep them at the office long enough for videos.
It is nothing against you guys DJ at all! I think what your doing is great and I am sure your swamped without a doubt. And I already have been contemplating re placing my order as well. I probably jumped the gun a bit by canceling it.
I already know at the bare minimum I am getting the ezb controller on order. Just waiting for the video to determine whether to use your chassis or a different one. This is my first real robot and I don't want to make a mistake with what body it is attached to. Don't raise the prices yet! Ha ha
I don't mind
Thanks for the message. Your JD will go to a good home! We can't seem to keep up with manufacturing so there will be a back-order for a few months anyway... Someone will appreciate your JD
Take your time to ensure that you're making the right decision - hehe, I know you'll secretly choose us anyway
Popular Science asked for EZ-Robots for a photoshoot. So did Complex Magazine... And now we have a few more asking for photos - we can't keep up with those requests either - otherwise I would have plenty of JD videos.
The reason we don't see much of JD in the videos is because Six is my favorite... I really should spend some time when we get a JD back in the office with him
Seeing as he has only two extra servos compared to the Robophilo Jr, (for the neck movement) I would say he walks in a similar fashion, but then again I may be wrong. Here's a video of the RP Jr. if you want.
@Cupcakehat yeah like that but much smoother
We will be getting the prototype robots back from the magazine photoshoots soon
will jd have a gyro
nomad18.08 by default it does not - however, you can add one as an EZ-Bit. We have a gyro/accelerometer combo EZ-bit which will be in our store soon. We also have a compass and a few other EZ-Bit modules.
They are little components which plug into the EZ-B v4 for additional features
