Corona LIMBOs
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 02:21:06 AM

Hi all,

We might have underestimated the Coronavirus effect on China and the rest of the world :(

As for now, 2 factories we’re working with have gotten back to work and the motor factory is due to return next week.

Additionally, the company that is helping us to manage the production is based in Hong Kong, and like us, can’t travel to China.

So, as you can imagine, our plans have changed a bit and we can't travel to China until it's safe.

We will try to manage the motor filtering by remote as soon as the factory gets back to work.

Thanks for the understanding, we hope that this situation will end soon and won’t cause any further delays.

Keep safe, the Fearless Team.

Getting ready to filter the motors

Hi all,

It’s been a few weeks since the last update and we would like to share with you our progress.

All of our efforts are dedicated to filtering the motors, separating “good ones” from the rest. This is a complex task, as we need to test the motor's performance while they are working and spinning outside the top, simulating the way they would work inside the top.

We have developed such a tool and already tested a few hundred motors. After the CNY (end of February), we will fly to China with this tool and teach the factory how to perform the tests.

We will update as soon as we'll get the results from China. Once we have enough motors that have passed the tests we can start manufacturing.

For those who might have concerns regarding the new epidemic and our health, The factory is, at the moment, located in a “non-risk area”, let’s hope this won’t be added to our obstacles list.

Moreover, we’ve read the different speculations of why we have closed the Indiegogo campaign, the answer is that it was closed by Indiegogo. They have changed their policies regarding Indemand projects and many projects were closed at the end of 2019, this doesn’t mean that the project is dead, just that it can’t accept new pledges.

Thank you for your patience, we’ll update once we have more news to share. It’s taking a long time, but we'll make this product happen.

Best, The Coronaless Team.

Getting back on track

Hi all,

It looks like we have found motors that will work well, we have spent the last few weeks testing samples from this batch.

In the next 2-3 weeks, we will send our fearless team member to the motor factory in China to examine and test the entire batch.

We will also need to redo all the bottom metal parts that we already made in order to fit them to the new motors. 

We hope to finish all before the Chinese New Year in late January, but we have learned not to promise a shipping date till we actually ship.

Thanks for your patient, it’s in our best interest that you will get your perfect LIMBOs as soon as possible, and we are working hard to make it happen.

Best, 

The Fearless Team.

We haven’t given up

Hi all,

We are still working on finding a good motor supplier, nonetheless, at the same time, we have started developing our own motor.

Developing the motor from scratch is a truly complicated and expensive process, perhaps even more complicated than developing LIMBO.

We are doing it because we have no choice, we have been trying to avoid this process for more than 2 years, however, It looks like it’s the only way to deliver a good product.

Once we get the motor done, the rest should be easy, we have already manufactured the other components.

Here are some photos from the production line:

We understand your frustration about the delays, we suffer from it too, these are not good days for us as a company and on a personal level. We would greatly appreciate if you would avoid mean comments, it doesn't help, it’s in our best interest to deliver a great product as soon as possible.

We are still optimistic that we will find the right motor and deliver a great product.

For now, we don’t have a final shipping date, but we will keep updating you about the motor and shipping status.

Thanks for your understanding

The Fearless Team
