New interrupter, piano demo, & first parts
Dear Backers,
Check out the new interrupter design, now with standalone mode!
We ordered expedited shipments of the latest revision of the main board to test it before placing a bulk order. Don't worry-- yours will be black. The manufacturer doesn't offer black silkscreen for small quantities.
And here's the very first bulk shipment we've received: 800 batteries for the interrupter-- on the floor of Heidi's dorm room at the moment.
We're moving into Artisan's Asylum, a nearby hackerspace that has space for rent. We'll actually be located right next to where Stompy, a rideable hexapod also funded by Kickstarter, is being assembled. We're excited to have a real space of our own!
Nearly everything else has already been ordered and is on the way. We've run into a small setback with our primary capacitors: they have been globally sold out for the past week. We've contacted the manufacturer, however, and a bulk shipment of capacitors is scheduled to be shipped to us direct from the factory at the beginning of March. So, our February kits will unfortunately be delayed by a few weeks. In the meantime, join the forum and stay tuned for further updates.
Lastly-- one more silly thing we've been up to at MITERS:

Cool that you will be next to Stompy! :D
And if someone was going to make a tesla coil version of that video, it might as well be you. :)
