I just noticed that the revolution is coming at Christmas. why such a set back? I guess my RAD project is on hold for a little while longer.

These people have been working very hard at putting the pieces in place to manufacture Revolution into a boxed product. This includes the servos with brackets, bodies, cameras and sensors. The new EZ-B v3 has been canceled and will be released as the EZ-B v4. The new controller includes integrated audio and video - as well as higher precision servo and wifi connectivity.
The design and prototypes are complete - and you will see them shortly. We are filming the first Revolution video shortly.
The time from now to Christmas is used to manufacture the components. This includes injection molding, PCB assembly and packaging. We will have 4 boxes complete by Christmas to be wrapped under your tree. They include a complete JD (bipd), Six (hexapod) and Roli (Rover). The 4th box is the new Complete Kit - which includes many EZ-Bits and bodies to assemble your own custom robot. Each for under $300 - not much more than the price of the old Complete Kit.
There will also be the Developers Kit, which consists merely of a Camera, Speaker and EZ-B v4... This enables you existing users to transition to the new smaller and more powerful EZ-B for wifi and mobile connectivity.
I've said too much!
I'd rather have a well tested and working product than something that's been rushed out.
That's worth waiting for
I will be ordering four or five before the year is out.
But I must choose which one first, hexapod, I will call it Zippy.
2nd choice jd, but that is my initials so I must call it junior.
3rd choice the Developers Kit.
4th choice roli or build your own custom robot.

Boooooooyaaaaaa!
The reason I have the whole project on hold is because I want to buy all parts together. 2standard servos, 2 heavy duty servos, one mini servo, ping radar, ez-b, 2 l298n motor controllers. That's a fair bit.
Wifi might work better for me than the Bluetooth. My speaker that I'm putting in my rad runs on Bluetooth and it gets interference easily.
What was that about intagrated audio and video?!?
And: quote: be the Developers Kit, which consists merely of a Camera, Speaker and EZ-B v4.
I can wait till Chirtmas.
May the BOTS be with you.
any idea of a price gestamit ¿
I have a request for an add on board with Accelerometer, Gyro and maybe a compass that you just plug in

Not to be dense but I want to be clear that if I wait on the new kit that it is to include similar items as before.
This would be great for a robot that you usually use at home or office, but when you want to take it somewhere to demo, it would broadcast its own SSD and provide an IP address to the computer running ARC that connects to its network.
That would be better than something like the AR Drone Parrot that you lose your internet access if you connect to the Parrot's network. You still would where there was no other network, but wouldn't need to where both the EZ-B and the ARC were on the same network.

I knew you were coming out with a new product, I just didn't realize there was going to be a big gap in between products being available.
Some backgound - My son came to ne early in the summer and aske dme if we could build a robot over the summer. Who could say "No" to that? So, I did a little reasearch and it looked like EZ Robot was going to be the product for us with everything that came in the kit, and considering out lack of experience, the software looked easy to use. I'll just have to let him know it will be a while longer.
