I sure the folks in England can make some serious book on shipping and receiving dates. Wonder what iFixit will pay for the first tear down. Don’t they send someone to pick an item up just to be the first to tear it down? And how long till it’s reverse engineered for local control? My expectations are low. Cool if I had it for my March BDay. I’ve referenced this post a few times for perspective.
As to the uncertainty on shipping. I can’t find where that video is but it is @dan telling the story of manufacturing and shipping Robot Turtles. Very confident. But also know this is a new product. Bound to be snafus. All in all, worth the risk.
