Final Hours, Helicopters Have Arrived, and First Impressions
It is down to the final 36 hours of our Kickstarter!
After raising more than seven times our target funding nearly all reward packages have been claimed and many will soon be in the hands of our early adopters. There remains only a handful of Puzzlebox Orbit helicopters still available in time for the holidays, so if you have been sitting on the fence now your last opportunity to act.
The first delivery of 120 helicopters arrived on Wednesday, with the remainder en route and due early next week. Our packaging and shipping boxes have been received and are ready for labelling. While we have been informed of delays with the NeuroSky EEG headsets we are confident we will be able to meet our promised delivery deadlines, even if it means we have to absorb doubled or tripled shipping costs. The satisfaction of our backers has to be our first priority!
Last night our company and this product was presented to the entrepreneur community at SF New Tech, followed by two hours of live demonstrations. Some of our own backers were in attendance and received a first-hand experience with the Puzzlebox Orbit. The reception and feedback were extremely encouraging and we thank everyone who attended!
In the coming days we will be focused on shipping arrangements and final touches to our control software, so please excuse any delays in correspondence. We read every message and request we receive but have to balance replies with following through on our commitments to you, our backers. Just the same, please keep sending your comments, questions and suggestions and thank you for your support!
