An Evasive icon: The ESCape

If you strip away the logos, colors, etc they look similar but not identical. An informed user could tell them apart.

It’s just a few small differences, not so obvious to people when looking online, the color is what distinguished it mainly. The escape had some different components placed at the same/around the same position as the VESC like the mofsets or the transistors.
Was it trampa that forced him to stop? Or is it for another reason, for what I’ve read, apparently the guy disappeared one day, and we never saw him ever again.

Look at all these rectangular smartphones, all violating each other’s exterior designs!!!

Nokia should make theirs trapezoidal. And Honor, maybe circular. Oh, and nobody should make them black, because fucking Apple has a patent on black phones. Can’t have product confusion, how hard can it be to change the shape and layout of the exterior guys?!? :roll_eyes:

I still see this as Frank chasing of Competition to improve trampa profit. Not protecting the VESC project. One miniy he says make little changes try to improve things then you see there is difrent components used so things were changed.

My conclusion the hole thing is about trampa bullying.

@Trampa are you willing to provide any evidence that this is not you picking on the small guy? I expect it will be no answer or a Excuse to why it’s ok to be a bully again or out right lie that has happened in the past and has been called out on. Witch is why the community has so many people been vocal about it

To get back to the point of this thread, I have 2 escape singles and the fuckers have been bulletproof. I have killed multiple motors from heat before they even started thermal throttling

I disagree. On the matter of Escape vs vesc6. Frank should be pissed. Wouldn’t you be? I don’t like all the other stuff he does, and the angles he used to dissuade stewii, but who would be cool with a low price clone of your premium product?

On the other hand, when you premium price something that can be made from commodity parts and is open source hardware, you’re almost inviting this sort of thing…

The final price of a product can include other stuff such as after sales service, warranty etc.
It is not fair to compare the price of two products even if they are identical and one comes with all of the above and the other as is.

I kinda see Prusa in the same boat. Clones everywhere, but instead of trying to sue, they keep improving so the clones are far behind.

Can’t argue that.
On another note I was stupid enough to purchase the extended warranty for my unity :+1:
Best decision ever :man_facepalming:
