RoboBrrd Check In!

Hello RoboBrrd Indiegogo backers!

How is everyone’s RoboBrrd doing? I hope by now that you have it working, flapping, chirping!

Please let me know if you are having any issues, or haven’t received it yet (unless we have discussed previously). We will work together to get it sorted out.

In other news, the 3D printer has been working constantly over the past few weeks to finish off our latest new robot! Check out the attached photo to see it. It will be coming soon to the RoboBrrd Store! ;) ;)

Thanks again for backing and your support! It really means a lot, and it is great to be able to make more robots with the 3DP!

Peace & robots,

Hi there friends of RoboBrrd!

Last night was the final countdown for the RoboBrrd Indiegogo campaign, we surpassed our stretch goal!

Big thanks to all the new and old friends of RoboBrrd, for backing the project and/or spreading the word!

We will be keeping everyone in the loop as to what is happening by posting periodic updates. We will be posting pics and vids of the behind the scenes action on twitter/facebook/g+, so you can follow RoboBrrd! :)

If you have any questions about RoboBrrd feel free to ask them!

It is extremely exciting to be able to get RoboBrrd in the hands of even more people now. I can’t wait to see what people will be making with them!

YIPEE WOOT WOOT CHIRP CHIRP BEEP BLOOP WHIRR SQUAWK!

Thanks again! :)

Howdy friends of RoboBrrd!

It’s the final countdown! Bring on the awesomeness! :)

We just released RoboBrrd Dashboard Beta 1. The RoboBrrd Dashboard is a desktop app that lets you control and calibrate your RoboBrrd’s servos. Check out the video overview attached!

You can download and learn more about it over here: http://robobrrd.com/dashboard/

Now it is time for the final sprint! (do birds sprint? I don’t know) It would be great if you could share RoboBrrd on your social networks, or even tell your neighbour about it!

Thanks everyone for supporting and cheering on RoboBrrd!

Have a fantastic RoboBrrdrific day!

Hi there friends of RoboBrrd!

Wowza! There are only 3 days left to the end of the campaign. Time flies! And RoboBrrds fly! (not really)

We have started to send out some emails to the campaign backers thanks to a RoboBrrd mailing robot that we coded. Thanks to everyone who has replied so far! (
We’ll be posting a tutorial in the near future on how to do this, in case it helps other Indiegogo project creators as well)

Newer backers might not have received the emails yet, but we will catch up with them at the end of the campaign. :)

Tomorrow (Monday) is exciting since we will be getting the production RoboBrrd Brain Boards in. Crossing our fingers, wings, and googely eyes that they will work! We’ll be tweeting on @RoboBrrd with the live updates.

Thanks again everyone for supporting RoboBrrd so far!

If you know someone who wants to become interested in robotics, show them RoboBrrd! Help spread the inspiration of robots :)

Here’s a picture of one of my RoboBrrds that has been undergoing some modifications recently. The feathers on its head are actually attached to piezo vibration sensors. Cool!

Also, I’m interested in hearing about what everyone’s plans are to hack/modify their RoboBrrd! Leave a comment on the campaign page and let us know! We’ll be going through them and will highlight the craziest ones :D

Until next time!
