Colin Adamson has 19 years of manufacturing and product design experience, a degree in industrial design, and is credited with several patents. He has been programming computers since an early age--including coding raw machine language at age 12 in the early 80s (because Atari BASIC was too slow to make decent video games).
He is also a father, husband, maker, hacker, mountain biker, kayaker, and snowboarder. He can usually be found in his garage-turned-machine shop, writing code, burning his hands with soldering irons, and building bikes.
We still have handful of the ABS kits to ship--the plan is to get the last of them out by the end of next week. Sorry for the delay, thanks for your patience!

Great project. I hope you add Linux support.
It is interesting how small a circle Vancouver is.
There's 2 backers that I've met personally but haven't seen in 5-10 years...
no, lasers for navigation... http://twitpic.com/7vmy0e
Lasers are too power intensive... Good old fashioned projectile weapons will be fine.
