Posted project update #7Back on Board!
Hello Generous olopede Funders and Supporters!
We've been away for quite a bit too long, and so this update is well-overdue. Don't fret, though - we're still working on olopede hard and strong!
So what's been going on?
Zach and I have had an incredible year of school, schematics, and olopede! We've made long strides toward getting all four kits out to our backers and to the world. We did not anticipate that it would take us an entire year to get to where we are now, but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As we're beginning to start more rigorous testing of the digital kits, we're also finishing up our home-brew documentation platform - using the documenation for the Turing Machine and oloduino to make sure it's in good working order. We're terribly sorry that we haven't shared all of our progress with you on a more regular basis, but we have been using the git repository.
You may have noticed that olopede.com has gone missing. We're aware of the issue and are looking to have it back up this coming week. For now, Zach and I be posting weekly updates at olopede.tumblr.com. Expect schematics, board layouts, logo designs, and pictures galore. Check out the newest post to learn more about Uber recent progress!
As always - we're looking forward to giving olopede to the world! If you have any questions, feel free to message us or send us an e-mail!
Until next week,
-Josh and Zach

commented on a project updateHey Vickie! We know the site's down - we're having technical difficulties with a house manager right now, but we should be getting that worked out shortly. We ARE still working on olopede! In fact, I've made some pretty groundbreaking progress in the past two days. Like Harry said, I suppose we've just not kept up with our backers. I'll be making a larger announcement covering the site outage, progress, missed deadlines, and new goals tomorrow. We know you've all been waiting far too long for your kits, so we're working day and night to get them to you as soon as possible.

Posted project update #6Round Two Prototypes are in!
Hey Backers (and everyone else)!
We got our second round of prototypes a few weeks ago!
We've posted an update on our site , including lots of images for your hungry eyes!
We'll actually be posting semi-regularly from here on out since the ball has started to roll pretty fast. Check in for updates at least once a week!
Lower value rewards (microPOV's, thank-yous, stickers) will be sent out soon!
Thanks for everything!

Hi
I have seen the design progress in the GIT svn - looks nice and the posts on http://olopede.com, but the last post is
It would be really great to hear from you with a progress update and maybe some estimated timing.

Hi Josh / Zach. I still haven't received my kit. Any ideas on when I should expect it?
Thanks again,
