Thank You! First parts and the SDK
Hi Kickstarters!
First of all thank you so much for your incredible 702% support!!! You are amazing. We've been extremely hard at work since the end of the campaign getting all the pieces in place for production. This week we received the first sample parts from the injection molds and metal stamping tools and the parts are looking really great! We even had a few clear parts made to help us see any potential problems. Very cool looking!
We also had a beautiful Kickstarter Green prototype made up.
The SDK will be released for testing to a small number of app developers next week. We expect the testing period to be quite short and then the SDK will be released to all 120+ developers who have requested the SDK.
We also wanted to thank Max and his crew at Maximizevideo.com for producing our Kickstarter video. With so many possible applications Galileo is a difficult product to explain in 2 minutes and 34 seconds. We think Max and his crew were able to beautifully convey how vast the possibilities are for Galileo. Thank you Max!
Thank you again Kickstarters! We will post more as parts come in, the SDK goes out and Galileo moves ever closer to being released into the wild.
Very Best,
Team Motrr

I signed for SDK access and haven't received anything. Any updates?
Creator David Simerly on June 4, 2012
Ditto the last two comments. Can we still expect June delivery, or is a delay expected? Thanks.
Creator Chris russo on June 2, 2012
Coming up on a month since the last update... Any news?
Creator Tom Ellery on May 28, 2012
Hi there guys,
Just wondering how the build is going? Do you think you'll still be shipping in June?
Creator Vijay Arunkumar on May 25, 2012
I'm also interested in the SDK, so that I can include support in an upcoming version of Fotoyaki, and other apps I'm developing. Please let me know how I can get access to the SDK. Cheers! And great work!
Creator Cameron Roth on May 17, 2012
Hey guys, I 'm also interested in the SDK. Where do I sign up?
Creator Matt Duncan on May 15, 2012
Very excited to to play ! Qu is there a degree max when the servo motor cant engage and drive the 360 capabilities? Just thinking a head about attachment mounting possibilities etc
Creator Henri Smeets on May 11, 2012
Looks good indeed, really looking forward to the final product!
Be sure to deliver the SDK to the builders of apps like Camera+, Photosynth, DMD, 360 ;-)
Creator Mikito Kawasaki on May 10, 2012
I'd like to request access to the SDK as well. Should I send you a message, apply through the "contact us" form in motrr.com, or just this message up in the comment area good enough?
Creator Arnold A Sitorus on May 10, 2012
It's interesting that the green reward is 'limited edition' but without limited number of backer.
This mean it doesn't have a limit in how many it will can be produce.
I know the 'limited' part is for limiting the option only on this project but will it make possible to add $10 to have the green version as John Valadez comment above?
Creator John Valadez on May 10, 2012
wow the green really does look good!! if you'd guys consider at all letting me pay the $10 difference via paypal or some other method, i'd gladly pay. the version from previous pictures did not "pop" as it does with this new prototype.
Creator Bryan Benitez on May 10, 2012
NICE!!! Looks great!!! I will be filming an event on Jun 10. It would be great to have Galileo for some cool time lapses for this event . Do you think that it would be ready by then?
Creator Asian Moulder on May 10, 2012
So I went to the site and wanted to vote for you guys...but they require a facebook to vote so I'll spread the word and see if I can get some people to vote in my stead...good job on the prototypes, by the way! I also kind of regret not getting a green one...
Creator tarunn on May 10, 2012
Hi, Will we also get a USB port so the phone can be charging while in use?
Creator Charles Bonnell on May 10, 2012
Wow that green one looks very good. I kind of regret not upping my pledge now haha.
Creator Darren Bush on May 10, 2012
I have friends who are super-conservative trickle-down capitalists...dinosaurs. I showed them this project as a perfect example of a traditional theory turned on its ear. This is trickle-up capitalism at its best. Thanks for showing us a great product as well as a great model for the future economy.
The best part about this -- if a venture capitalist wants to buy the company, my guess is a) you wouldn't be interested and b) they'd have to pay a lot more than 702% of your funds raised. :-)
Creator Alasdair Allan on May 10, 2012
How do I request access to the SDK? Or did i just do that...? ;)
Creator david watkins on May 10, 2012
Thank you for the update.
Creator Gregor E Love-Jones on May 10, 2012
Thank you for the update!
A quick question: with a pledge of $160 is it possible to get 1 black and 1 white?
Creator Mercedes (Mandy) on May 10, 2012
gahhh the green looks fantastic! I should have pledged for Green :)
Creator Niels on May 10, 2012
Great to see the process!
Creator Jared Bennett on May 10, 2012
Yes, thanks for the update! Glad to see things are moving along nicely.
