Erle-Spider crowdfunding campaign

Hi Pando855,

Similarly as happened with other threads, I'm leaving here record of my answer to you since clearly your aim is to create damage (the previous comments have been removed). Truth to be told, I don't really know what's your aim by throwing incorrect information and lying. It sounds to me like the witespy case that happened a while ago. You've tried blackmailing us already through a few channels and I haven't answered you hoping that you'll understand that i don't want to loose time with folks like you. Here's what i think:

The Crab project was launched and announced by Ivan Biriuk (which you may not even know but is the guy that created the Crab project). We are in touch with Ivan and we are big fans of his work and even tried supporting it. This happened quite a while ago (2014) and several built on top. We did it and many labs did the same.
Just by looking at the code of your "Antdroid" and its dynamical model, I'd say you also did it. Having said that, if you still claim you've done it yourself, you've made your first robot but reinvented the wheel when it comes to hexapods which to me, is quite foolish.
What's funny is that you've tried to license something that clearly was released by someone else and now you are seeking for similarities with other projects and trying to enforce them to release their sources. This is again foolish and you'll get people pissed (e.g.: me).

I'm sure you know little about open source because generally, and according to my experience, those that complain the most are the ones that understand the least. Erle Robotics hasn't built on top of anything produced by you and judging by your attitude, I doubt we ever will.

I'd also ask you to be respectful with this work since its the output of many during several months.

Hi Tobias,

There's no shame on acknowledging that. And actually I did it a while ago https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=121343.

@David, yes a PI2 hidden in a box. Wouldn't be a shame to mention that it is a PI2 rather than trying to hide it and sell it off as their own hardware development...

So happy not to see another flying camera. Nice robot.

Wow. Loving the DIY kits. A great introduction to robotics and much more user friendly than a UAV. Great work.

Thanks Victor! Great job. I am waiting for the Erle brain 2 to put it on my next plane!
