Ez Encapsulated

Under the terms of use, any for profit product requires a licensing agreement or permission with ez-robot - which within our community, Will, Dave, Anthony and others (for corporate and industry use) have EZ-Robot permission. Additionally, what most licensees are doing is not using Revolution product-line - which is a different licensing arrangement. The EZ-B has much less stringent restrictions than the Revolution robot products, as well - for obvious reasons. Much like with this situation, anyone or identity using ez-robot for product use has had dialog with ez-robot. Usually it is through private discussion, but it can happen in public if the initiator chooses. Dialog with other licensed products, such as mentioned by Alan happen outside of the public forum using different means of communications, such as email and phone.

Regarding the 300 Brookstone self-contained ez-robot display units. For technical understanding, they do not require a PC and are self-contained with internal code. Those units are also licensed specifically to Brookstone and the license is none-transferable. This applies to the other retail locations with live action EZ-Robot demos.

Additionally, warranty on physical hardware does not apply to commercial use, including servos, batteries and components which endure wear and tear - which is common sense. Physical modification of ez-robot product for use outside of intended design will void warranty. Relabeling or re-branding ez-robot product will void trademark rights. Using EZ-Robot brand in third party applications, services or products will challenge the terms of use as well. All of this is common sense and without reviewing the terms of use, is mere business ethics.

To answer Jeff's question, the information of what ez-robot is used for is located everywhere on this website, including the about section, videos, product descriptions and terms of use. This forum does not represent the ez-robot product line, as this forum is for ez-robot support and ez-robot product owner community. You may be misunderstanding by assuming the www.ez-robot.com website is a forum, when the forum is only located under the Community link.

How the website, and all websites work is through a menu navigation. On the top of this website will be words/titles, which are actually clickable links - meaning place the mouse cursor on the link title and press the mouse button. This will load a new page, which is still on the www.ez-robot.com website. This can be identified by recognizing the title banner and the URL in the address bar both displaying EZ-Robot. Understanding that, you now have the ability to view products and other content hosted on the website, which is entirely EZ-Robot specific content.

The best method to obtain a complete overview of ez-robot is through the video on the main page of this website, which can be accessed by pressing the logo from the top of this page or any page on the ez-robot.com website. Locate the the video on the home page, and press the play button to view the video.

Again, thank you for presenting the opportunity to ez-robot for use in coin operated vending machines as entertainment. However, EZ-Robot will not pursue this opportunity at this time and will maintain it's direction in education and r&d applications.

Unless this information is conveyed incorrectly or misunderstood, I will no longer be participating in this thread. Thanks again!

Thanks for the clarification DJ.

I see it in the terms of use page now.

Last time I read that was quite some time ago. It is a good bit more sophisticated now.

After the web site terms of use are the hardware and software terms of use.

DJ thanks for the reply.

I sort of understand and have no wish to disrupt the forum. I am really out of my depth.

I will carry on the search for the correct product.

Thank you all for your help and I wish you all, a happy holiday.

Kind regards

Jeffrey

You too Jeffrey, and thanks again for considering EZ-Robot!

I will recommend that there is a robot company who I know has historically provided service level support and design. They are http://www.trossenrobotics.com. They have designed self contained robots for a few companies at a service level. For robot companies, they might be the closest thing to having something of what you're looking for or they would at least be able to make something.

@DJ, you're a class act. A complete gentleman in business and society. First you try to help the guy, then when you find his application will infringe on copyright you tell him you can't help him but then turn around and help him by showing him a viable option. Nice work. This is one of the many reasons EZ Robot is going to be around for a long time.

Many thanks. Live long and prosper!

To Gurutech many thanks for your information and offer of advice.

Thanks also for the offer to help if needed. I am not sure which way to go yet. It really shows that you can have a good idea but implementing it is another thing.

My email is [email protected]. If I need your help or advice can I ask? You can always refuse.

Also I can pay for help so please email me if you are interested. I don't want to take liberties!

Kind regards

Jeffrey
