Are you still anodizing them in various colors?

robotdude · March 4, 2008, 5:13pm

Yes we are doing black, blue, red, and green.

Green! SICK!!!

Jim, can you give us an update on ETA? Thanks.

Still waiting on my anodizing samples.

is it still possible to get a set of unfinished parts

robotdude · April 1, 2008, 1:45pm

Sorry, no they are at the anodizer.

Hello,
I’m new to these forums and I need a shift from wheeled robots to walkers.

Buying a kit gives more time to work on the algo and software.

Could you let me know when the phoenix will be available. Would it be around the same price as the AH3-R?

Thanks.

adding that one to my list when it come avalible!!

I tought it was time to move from my CH3 to something new… These rainy days made me think a lot…!

Now I come across this topic (unfortunately I’m not an usual reader)… WOW!!! Now I’m in love with the Phoenix!

How can I order the 200$ kit?

I’m supposed to work now… but I think I will read all these 14 pages… while keeping an eye on my office door…

You did really a great job!!
Andrea

The parts are still at the anodizer. I talked with them last week and as far as I know the parts are currently being processed. I will call next Monday if they do not show up before then…

Hello, I too am certainly interested in this kit, and would love to know when it is made available. Fantastic job, Phoenix looks and moves spectacularly, im very eager to join in the fun and customize the kit.

Thanks,

Is it about the same size as the mini hexapod you offer? I was quite interested in that kit, but this looks very cool! If so, i’d go with this one for its 3DOF legs. Ik size shouldn’t make a difference, but robots are so much cuter when they’re smaller

bluehash · April 28, 2008, 7:51pm

Not being a push, but is it ready yet

robotdude · April 28, 2008, 7:55pm

I am expecting the parts back from the anodizer this week! I got a call from them this morning saying they were ready to ship.

adam-21 · April 28, 2008, 8:20pm

Cool. When do you expect the new powerpod to be ready? I’m wondering if I should target a June birthday or Christmas gift for my son…

bluehash · April 28, 2008, 8:50pm

Thanks!.. I have been checking this thread nearly everyday.

maxumx · April 29, 2008, 5:44am

humm sounds yummy, wut color did you have them anodize them?

robotdude · April 29, 2008, 1:47pm

We are getting red, blue, green, (bright dip) and black (flat).

tom_chang79 · April 29, 2008, 3:06pm

Curious george, what is “bright dip” ?

Also, do have a final pricing on this Phoenix kit? What will be the parts list in this kit?

I think your idea of having it anodized in various colors was a great idea! Are you planning on anodizing the SES parts in various colors in the future?
