Hi all,
We have started sending out the Backerkit surveys and some of you already received and completed them (thanks!).
We are sending them gradually so all of you will receive them during the next 2 days.
Please complete the survey as soon as possible so your reward won’t get delayed. We hope to start shipping during September.
Most of the components have already been manufactured (metal parts, plastics, etc) but we’re still facing challenges in the quality assurance process during the assembly line. We are building special tools for that.
Here is a video showing the 3 different options for the aluminum colors:

Hi all,
Production
We are in a very advanced stage of the production but are still facing a few challenges, mainly in the QA (quality assurance) level. Making one perfect LIMBO it relatively easy, but making thousands when each one is perfect is our main challenge now.
Here are some assembled LIMBOs on the QA table:
At the moment, it looks like production will end during September, please bear with us during this intense time. We are doing everything we can to make sure your LIMBO is perfect.
Backerkit Survey
We are ready to send the Backerkit survey, where you will be able to manage your pledge and provide your shipping address.
The survey will be sent this week to our Kickstarter backers, and next week we will send it to our Indiegogo backers.
Please fill your survey as soon as possible so we can better prepare our fulfillment partners and process.

We have reached another milestone!

Dear backers,
It's time for another update. First, we would like to apologize again for the delay in delivery, and to report that we have reached a milestone that finally enables us to begin mass production.
LIMBO's prototypes worked great, but they used to wobble a bit, especially on very smooth surfaces.
You want LIMBO to spin for hours, but you also want LIMBO to spin smoothly.
Now with the new motor in place and additional improvements, LIMBO spins perfectly! The main improvement was achieved by adjusting the code of the new motor.
We are excited that we finally reached the precision we were after, as you can see in this video!
*this is a production version LIMBO with the new motor.
**GoPro failed after ~2.5 hours :( LIMBO didn't :)
Now we can finally start mass production, and the next step will be to collect your BackerKit Surveys.
Backerkit Survey
For those of you that are not familiar with Backerkit’s surveys, it is a service that allows you to update your personal info (shipping address), manage your reward (choose the colors of LIMBO and the base), add more items or upgrade your current pledge.
We are working on the survey and we'll release it in a couple of weeks. We will send an update dedicated to the survey (so no need to ask us yet if it has been sent). The data from the survey will allow us to manage the production, so please answer it as soon as you get it, thanks.
New and upgraded base design:
We want to share with you the new base design:
As part of the new base design, we have added a branded metal ring around the base. It looks stunning and although it costs slightly more to produce (that’s on us) we have decided it’s definitely worth it and we’re sure you will too.
We will soon receive new production samples and we’ll share the photos with you. Then we will also decide on the color options for the metal rings. For the bases body we will keep the 3 options we showed on the campaign: White, Black, and Translucent).
Estimated delivery date
We are working around the clock and aim to start shipping your LIMBOs by the end of August, we will keep you posted re our progress in the coming updates. Again, apologies for the delay, but we are getting there!
A push carry-on with increased packing space, extreme durability, and advanced ergonomics for an uncompromised ride.
The SIX is G-RO’s unique take on 4-wheel luggage. We developed durable full-bearing wheels, complete with lightweight and silent polyurethane tires for unmatched rolling. The combination of two of our signature GravityRoll™ wheels in the back and two of our new, custom G-RO spinner wheels in the front creates a bag that rolls like nothing on the market.
And the SIX’s main handle features a unique mechanism that splits the handle in half, with a special lock to make sure it’s firmly locked when in use, and a patent-pending “throttle grip” for extension.
At first glance, these new gel pens form Magnetips look a bit like magic. Each pen hides 2 strong Neodymium Magnets. Thanks to their magnetic power, you will be able to create, fidget and play and like with no other pen set around.
The HUB is Discord Sound's flagship waterproof wireless earbud with a record-breaking 100 battery life and wireless charging with a ton of other features:

Why we (and other campaigns) suffer from delays
about 5 years ago
– Thu, Apr 04, 2019 at 11:54:34 PM
Hi all,
It’s been a month since our last update and here is the latest news. We will try to provide you with as many details as we can, keep in mind that even if these updates were for “backers only”, they can be read by our suppliers and also by people who are trying to copycat us (bastards).
Usually, before you launch a Kickstarter campaign, you have the time, but not the cash for mass production, so you try to prepare all your horses, so when the time comes ($$$), you will give the order and everything will run.
That works great for development, and that’s why we have our perfect prototypes.
These prototypes are the exact same design that we are going to mass produce, the DFM (design for manufacturing).
LIMBO is made from these main components:
2 Metal parts
1 ball bearing
3 plastic parts
PCB (printed circuit board)
1 Battery
1 Motor
Some of these components are being made by us, such as the metals, plastic, PCB, and some are off-the-shelf products.
The motor is a combination of both, It’s a standard motor that we are changing the shape of its weight. It works great when the factories are making the samples for us, they use CNC machines that make precise parts, however, when they shift to production samples, they are simply not good enough, even though they commit to the same quality.
We have been through this process 3 times in the past 6 months, we’ve learned a lot, and now we are waiting for the production samples of the current supplier. We will receive them in the next 2 weeks.
From the time we’ll approve the motor it will take 6-8 weeks to finish production.
That’s why our current estimation is that LIMBO will be shipped this June, but till we won’t approve the final production motor, the deadline can move.
That’s also why we thought we could deliver in December, then February, then April. When we talk to other Kickstarter creators, this seems to be a common issue.
Having all that said, we are still fearless and we hope that this June we will start shipping LIMBO.
So what we are doing with our “free” time?
Preparing for the delivery, lots of logistics and bureaucracy.
Improving the code, especially the power management that can always be improved.
Working on other accessories that we will offer you on the backer kit. One of them will be a free surprise.
Working on the next versions of LIMBO.
All these tasks do NOT affect the delivery date but improve the product that you will receive and future amazing LIMBOs.
