Update #4: Funding Unsuccessful

Posted on March 28, 2011

Thank you all for supporting me in my project.

Unfortunately, the project did not reach its funding goal.

I will be relaunching the project with redefined goals and rewards.

Stay tuned ...

Update #3: Picked up by Online Technology Sites

Posted on March 1, 2011

Today I noticed I was getting way too many E-mails. So I googled myself...

Wow, I can't believe it, but my project has been picked up by a whole bunch of Tech Sites including: Engadget,Technabob, Gizmodo,Ubergizmo, Dvice and Coolest Gadgets, to name a few! OMG!

      That's awesome. All it takes is a little paintball-firing robot to get us tech geeks all excited.

      Chris,
      Watched your video and was impressed. I would note that there are at least 2-3 firms already providing both offensive robot type vehicles to DOD as well as to many LE end users, which are similar to yours as well as fully capable of climbing stairs. Advantages yours may have, over theirs may be in lower cost, more weight pulling capability, easier to control, etc. If you'd like to explore how to reach DOD end users, I may be able to offer some help. Please feel free to either contact me via phone 407/563-3884 (Fla) or via E-mail C/O adorsai@aol

      Good luck!

Update #1: Finally launched the project

Posted on February 12, 2011

I had to put off making my video for 2 weeks because I have been fighting this nasty cold. I finally went to the doctor, and got some ANTIBIOTICS to kick it. I Shot the video yesterday, and tweaked it today. I finally launched this evening. Now to link it and spread the word... Fingers Crossed...
