DEAR FRIENDS, DEAR BACKERS,

We hope this message finds you all healthy and safe from the virus.

We have all lived a particular 2020 year, more or less difficult. On behalf of our team, we want to wish you all a Happy New Year filled with happiness and success. And above all, good health far from COVID-19.

In our last communication, we announced that we were in the process of finalizing the installation of the production tool in our factory to start manufacturing the first generation of the BUDDY PRO in November.

Good news, despite a delay due to the second wave of COVID-19, the production could start in december. Indeed, the sourcing parts from our various suppliers over the past few weeks has proven to be difficult due to the current environment. Between the previous disruptions due to the health crisis and the growing demand following the multiple re-lock downs with the second wave of COVID-19, the electronic components industry is particularly tense at this moment. Neverthless, we have fought to minimize the impact on the production schedule and today we are excited to share photos from the factory to give you an exclusive insight into the heart of BUDDY's production.

A new step forward has been taken with this first generation of the robot, “BUDDY PRO”, which will allow us to properly prepare the final version of the “BUDDY COMPANION” thanks to the feedback we will have.

LAUNCH OF THE BUDDY CLUB: CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS!

As previously indicated, we decided to create the BUDDY CLUB intended to bring together all the privileged actors who carry the BUDDY project, with the objective of continuous improvement of the BUDDY solution and listening closely to your needs.

We invite you to read our BUDDY CLUB membership charter below:

If you would like to join the BUDDY CLUB, simply complete the membership application form below:

This club aims to allow users or future users of the BUDDY robot to be active ambassadors of the BUDDY robot, by receiving the latest information or by exchanging on BUDDY, by sharing their feedback on the BUDDY PRO, by suggesting ideas, or even by contributing to the development of the BUDDY COMPANION.

As a member of the BUDDY CLUB, you will receive exclusive offers on the BUDDY robot, goodies and you will have preview access to all new information on the BUDDY robot. Last but not least, you will be able to participate in meetings and exclusive presentations.

“For me, this BUDDY CLUB has to become a great place for exchanging. First of all, exchanges between us and our early supporters, on a different mode of communication from the traditional one. But the real goal of this club is to allow members to meet in order to share their ideas, their questions, their experiences or their needs, and to contribute to the finalization of the robot that we have all dreamed of: the BUDDY COMPANION “, says Rodolphe Hasselvander.

2021 is a new step in the BLUE FROG ROBOTICS adventure with the official launch of our "BUDDY PRO"and we cannot thank you enough for your support, without which none of this would have been possible. Take care of yourself and your loved ones
