    Ian, you are AWESOME! I would be happy to sell you the first. It would be great to go to lunch if I ever make it to Belfast. David, thank you very much for the positive comment. We worked really hard to execute the first edition. Every set that we mailed ended up costing us 22 dollars beyond what was funded. So, I greatly appreciate your understanding. Backers like you, Ian and so many others are why we kept going.

    SOLD OUT!

    We have less than fifty First Edition PenMoto's remaining.  Because of the expense of assembly and parting line and solvent issues with the manufacturer we will not be making this edition again.  It will be months before the second edition will be unveiled, and then longer before released.  

    We will be able to sell a few dozen more, if anyone wants one.  But we will not sell the entire inventory.  Just thought a couple of you might like to know.

    We have learned so much from this first edition.  It was priceless for us, in terms of experience and in terms of your feedback.  We made many mistakes, and it cost us dearly, but I am amazed at how gracious and understanding you have all been to us.

    It is greatly appreciated Kickstarter.

        I love the PenMoto I've got. It's a great item and I use it all the time.

        Do you plan on making the new version compatible with the old version? Or are you working on a totally new design?

    Okay, I found the bit regarding the motor drive not working because the app hasn't been approved. I will wait, but wow is this going to be great. One of the greatest kickstarter projects yet, and I have backed a few. :) Very excited!

    I got my ROMO today. It is incredible. I don't think many people realize what an undertaking this was and how excellent ROMO is. WELL DONE!

    Awesome project execution. I love the little guy, and putting it together was very enjoyable. I downloaded the app, but he doesn't seem to be moving. Any suggestions, anyone?

    Stephen

    A good friend of mine that freely donated his time to help with video and animations for PenMoto has been watching his youngest son Stephen suffer from a rare and very vicious form of brain and central nervous system cancer.

    I hope I don't offend anyone, because I'm sure we all know and love someone that is fighting or has fought cancer. Stephen really is the sweetest kid, and his suffering has helped me better realize how previous life is and how fortunate I am to be able to love, laugh, share and enjoy beauty and happiness in life.  

    SO, Stephen and his loving family have taught me a very powerful lesson in gratitude for so much that I so often take for granted.

    I can not thank Brent and his wife enough for their generosity. They unselfishly helped me tremendously in getting PenMoto on kickstarter before Stephen was even diagnosed.

    Stephen may be unlucky to be fighting for his life, but he is so lucky to have such incredible parents, siblings and caregivers at St. Judes.

    Whatever your beliefs or religion might be, Stephen and his family could use your thoughts and prayers.

    Comfort and Fit video tip

    How to make your self-sizing ring a custom sized ring.

    You will need a small drop of superglue.

        Nice green colour on that ring. Looks cool. Will you be offering the aluminum rings in the future?

        oh, that is a great idea to try on that ring that has been getting loose.

        I had actually made a little spacer to put in the expanded gap, which I glued and then taped over with plumber's tape. This seams like a much simpler solutions. Thanks.
