So how do you find the investment on Robi ? Is it worth it ?
Because i found that robi can only do certain thing which i find it cute and bubbly but paying for over like 5K for few action seem not justify the money plus i predict after sometime it would in the shelf collecting dust unless robi have weekly or monthly firmware upgrade that do little more then currently stock robi action can.... laugh.gif

Still holding on to my grudge, though i love to have Robi.... sweat.gif

I can't say yes or no because it depends on priority.

If you have nothing else better to spend on and don't mind 70 weeks wait (and actually enjoy the process), and not forgetting being one who appreciates the technology - go ahead.

I for one, do have better things to spend on but I have no recommendation of any better alternative.

As one who spends time to build stuff, I don't like to wait 70 weeks to build a robot. tongue.gif Too long, really too long.

The parts can be easily obtain from external website like taobao ....

They already selling complete set of the Chinese and Japanese version, you can either get the whole set or just simple buy the chosen set to have full dummy set assemble while buy the PCBA and voice Recognition copied locally (Unless u know how to speak Japanese) and i think the assembly parts are universal built regardless on any region you buy from....

For the shipment is costly a bit but it will be well paid price for those who cant wait till all 70 parts comes in.... i believe most of us wants only the Robi not the magazine collection... rclxms.gif

I think that big piece of plate PCBA just screw....the most challenging comes when you assemble the brain and the servo hmm.gif

I was offered 30% off and allowed to complete in half the time. biggrin.gif BUT that means spending a lot more within that same period!

RM 5.5k over 70 weeks is RM 78 per week.
RM 3.5k over 35 weeks is RM 100 per week.

That comes to about RM 400 per month instead of RM 300. sad.gif

I calculated if include all the special issue, it will cost RM 5,365.40. Online subscription will cost RM 4,828.20. I'm more interested with the 30% off, wonder if there is any lubang for that.

I just want the parts and servos, and plan to replace the electronics with my own board.
