Quoted from awarner:You know - I felt really bad that people bought the other kit. I knew that a servo couldn't replicate what a real motor could and that there was no intelligence running the device. Unfortunately, the price was lower than ours (initially) and he had actually stolen our name of Wobblehead and used it as a domain name. Sucked.
I bought the one from a couple years ago. I didn't know it was a stolen design, but after waiting for the other one I heard was going to happen and hadn't for years, at $120, I thought it was great.
Still running strong now, and super glad I bought it then for what I paid. I believe they offered a lifetime warranty and are still honoring that as far as I was aware.
If they did in fact steal your design, that is unfortunate, but I don't recall that coming up in any threads at the time. Are they owned by Gary Stern by chance (ZING!)? What did they steal exactly, the idea, or is the board a copy?
