Hi to all the LIMBOteers,
We are now one month after the KS campaign has ended and these days, it’s all about the manufacturing process and the delivery efforts.
The final version of the PCB (electronic board) design is finished (still in tests), and the metals have been ordered. The Code is also ready but we will probably need to fine tune it when all the components are final.
If all continues going according to plan (as it has done up till now), we will start manufacturing in mid-October and delivery will be in December. We will send updates every 3-4 weeks until then.
Recent FAQ:
Survey - Will be sent during October, We will use Backerkit, this service will enable you, the backer, to select your wanted color for the tops and bases, adding more items (we will offer spare parts and maybe other items) and also adding or editing your shipping address.
Will I get my LIMBO for Christmas? Probably yes, because we really don’t want to disappoint you, however, we will ship more than 10K LIMBO’s and that’s no picnic, in the meantime please remain good Boys and Girls.
Thanks again for your support, we have exciting times ahead of us. We already dream about new possibilities for the LIMBO concept, we'll share them with you when the time is right.

LIMBO’s Grand Finale
over 5 years ago
– Tue, Oct 02, 2018 at 03:26:50 PM
Hi all,
We are in the last hours of the campaign and everything is happening so fast. We want to share with you our insights and feelings (grab some tissues):
The campaign exceeded our expectations by a mile. Thanks to you, LIMBO is the most funded spinning top/spinner on the Milky Way.
That’s just the beginning - now it’s time for the hard work. We feel like the concept of LIMBO is a huge responsibility, we are creating a “magical item” and in order for it to truly be magical, it must be perfect, so we’ll do our best to make it such.
The LIMBO community is quite big (~9K people), if you are not familiar with the community section, take a look here, you can see some insights about your fellow LIMBO backers.
What’s next?
Development - We have mentioned it on one of our previous updates, due to LIMBO’s success and our desire to meet deadlines, we will manufacture using the current high-end spec, which is really an overkill and also enables us to offer some additional features. We will update about these features later on, but since we love spoilers, we can say that we are adding 3-5 RGB LEDs and working on different “modes”. BTW, It will neither speed up nor slow down the delivery times, our bottleneck is the custom motors.
*the LEDs will only be visible when you open LIMBO, they will not be seen from the outside.
Modes - here are some ideas we are working on: Fast/Slow spinning modes, fast can be good for tricks and rough surfaces. While slow will create the illusion that LIMBO is about to fall (Like at the end of “That movie”). In all modes LIMBO will adjust its speed, the difference is the targeted speed it is aiming for. We are also working on modes for magic tricks and for long storage.
*Disclaimer: We probably want these features as much as you do, but if it will delay the delivery we will have to stay with the original design. Keep in mind that we are fearless and will do our best as always.
Please comment and share your thoughts about these modes, we love them but also want to keep LIMBO simple and intuitive.
Backerkit - about 84.5% of you are experienced backers and probably know this already, several weeks before the delivery, we will send a survey where you can manage your pledge, select the color of your tops and bases and tell us your additional items (for those who manually added more funds). We will use Backerkit’s service which really makes it easy for all. On your end, rest assured that you will be able to control your reward almost up until shipping time. Once the campaign ends, If you wish to add more items to your cart, we recommend doing that via the Backerkit’s service and not through any other channel, you’ll get it faster and for the best price.
Indiegogo - Tomorrow we will launch an IGG campaign on their indemeand program. Prices will be a bit higher or equal to the Kickstarter campaign, and IGG backers will receive their LIMBO after we’ll finish the delivery to you guys. Keep in mind that when you see the IGG page, it indicates the total amount of both campaigns. That’s quite confusing.

LIMBO in the Sky with Diamonds

Today at “Meet the Fearless”: Elad Sela
Problem: When we started working on LIMBO, we realized that developing using CNC machines is insanely expensive, factories don’t really like to have their machines working on a few tops all day long.
Solution: We found an insane person that happens to have a CNC factory, he fell in love with our vision and became a member of the Fearless family. Thanks to Elad, we were able to make 20-30 iterations that helped us making LIMBO perfect.
Oh, this guy is also a pilot, and if you paid attention to our comment section, you might have picked up a hint about the following video:
.
We are proud to announce, That LIMBO works in 3000 feet altitude!
SmarterEveryDay
If you don’t know Destin from SmarterEveryDay, you should definitely stop reading this update and check out his channel, a good place to start is the video he made about the effect you just saw on the video above.
We have tried to contact Destin, we really want his help in better understanding/explaining the physics behind LIMBO. We also commented on the video to grab his attention:
Tweet much? Let’s get Destin’s attention on twitter, you can help us by retweeting our message using this button:
Here’s another take on the 3D printing video, this time it was a successful take, though we are still not happy with how it turned out,
The angle we used when shooting it, doesn't deliver the idea we were looking for, that the printer is shaking LIMBO. We might re-redo it:
* On the video above, LIMBO spun for 5 hours and change, we guarantee "only" +4 hours to be on the safe side.
This is a good opportunity to thank the guys and girls from Zukerim studio that sacrificed their printer for these videos. Zukerim also Kickstartered their way a few years ago, now you can find their products (and get 10% off) here.
*you'll see the discount applied at checkout.
Some Q&A
Q: Will there be an EU friendly shipping?
A: We still cannot guarantee an EU friendly shipping because we still haven’t decided on a shipping company [or did we? Still negotiating) and not all of them support this option. We’ll try our best.
Q: What about keychains for the Titanium version?
A: We’ll send 3D files to anyone with their own printing solution. In addition, we’ll upload the design to Shapeways so you can order from them. We’re still looking for options to manufacture in small quantities.
Q: What Titanium grade would you be using?
A: We will probably use TA2 or better.
Promises Promises
We know we promised some stuff on our last update, however, this update is already getting a bit too long as it is. Shame on us.
But seriously now, we are still testing some of the features that we want to share with you, but worry not, next update is just around the corner (probably this upcoming Monday).

3D Spinning !?!

Hi everyone,
We wanted to thank all of you wonderful backers for sharing with us all your awesome ideas for LIMBO.
We are still looking into some of them, but for now, we chose and executed the suggestion of @Jean-Maxime Marleau. @Jean suggested us to spin LIMBO on a 3D printer while printing:
We failed miserably! but that’s a good opportunity to show you guys what a first attempt looks like in real life.
.
What have we learned from this attempt:
LIMBO is more reliable than our 3D printer, it can undergo major interruptions and yet to maintain its balance.
The constant changes to LIMBO’s speed, causing it to “fight” for its balance, doesn't have a major effect on the battery's life, we will keep testing it and report.
Next time we won’t mount the camera onto the moving tray. We think the first video is much cooler!
We will add a clock.
@Jean, please check your messages, we have upgraded your reward, we almost forgot about this idea:
From one of the drafts we made for the KS video
Don’t stop me now
We are still looking for new ideas and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, we promise to look into all of them, so don’t be shy, you too can one day be @Jean-Maxime Marleau :)
In our next update we will (spoiler):
Show you our next attempts for the 3D printing video.
Tell you about the features we’re planning to add to LIMBO, maybe we will survey out to you some of them.
We’ll consult you guys about the preferred way and the frequency of our updates, once the campaign ends (survey).
Have a new cool team signature, much better than this one.
Our friends over at Air Deck are running a successful campaign with their ultimate travel playing cards.

An Update within an Update?!

YO
You plan an update, you know exactly what you wanna say, you send it to your Fearless teammate to upload, then you see this:
.
Small happy moments here at the Fearless HQ.
Back to the original update, we know that it might be rude to publicly announce it, but we quite board around here, the Dev/Production dudes are super busy, they probably won’t even read this update, so we can make fun of them, but here at marketing, we are running out of ideas on how to share LIMBO with the world.
And here’s where we can use your Fearless minds, if you have ANY idea, the fearless the better, we will seriously consider it and might do it (and reward the genius).
Here are some ideas we are making up at the moment so you can use them as a reference:
Have a marathon runner holding a base with LIMBO spinning for their entire run. If they’re good, they’ll use the standard version, if they are like us, they’ll use the WR version.
Send a LIMBO to the “Will it Blend” dude, asking him to try and blend it. We already tried contacting him, if someone knows him, please speak up.
Contact Elon Musk, offering to re-break the record with his batteries. Or just send a LIMBO to space and see what happens.
Make a “Backer off the Week” award, each week will choose the best backer and upgrade his reward. It’s a bit against Kickstarter’s guidelines, so we can’t really do it, but maybe you guys have better ideas.
Basically, we are trying to outsource the creative to you guys, while we’ll do the execution, deal? If you have an idea, please comment on this update. If it’s too kinky, you can also send us an email to - info😊fearless.toys.
Finishing the electronic design
Furthermore, we’ve decided to delay the cost-reduction to after the first batch (your LIMBOs). What usually happens is that after you design an electric board with high-end components, you want to move to the cost-reduction stage, this means sourcing cheaper alternatives to the original design.
So, to sum it up, your LIMBOs will be made using high-end components and without any compromises.
