"All good things come to those who wait patiently" its tuff waiting ..I know! but while your waiting you could be adding more programing/personality to your Wall -E !
Revolution is... a revolution It's a huge step for us. We have been in beta by providing the 3D printable parts - to engage the community to use the concept. We've had really good response from users with the software and EZ-Bits. In the background, we have a bunch of new staff. You will meet them soon in video intros. They're leaders in their field... From CAD design, electrical engineering, software development, operations, community management, and more.
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 am writing my letter to Santa now. Pre-order end of November?
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.
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?!?

I've said too much!
:D Love it
Christmas will be here before you know it
Just build the robot with a space for the EZ-B and add the EZ-B once it's available.
I'd rather have a well tested and working product than something that's been rushed out.
That's worth waiting for

We are hoping to begin accepting a limited number of pre-orders in the next few weeks.
Well, dj. When you put it that way...
Boooooooyaaaaaa!
