Update #2 · Sep 29, 2012 · comment

I made a video of one of the new cases getting created. This is coming off our new 3d Printer and still isnt the finished version but you can see loads of improvement from the case in the intro video. Thanks for your support!

    Bloomtastic, thats what you are! In thanks for adding a little color to the world we will give you the ability to go down in Bloom lore. You will be able to design your own pattern on Bloom and we will code it for you. You get to choose how it interacts with the user- Do they tap it, flip shake it, what happens when they move their right and left hands - all this power is left to you. You then get to name that pattern and you will get the credit for creating it in all code and documentation. You also receive all lower rewards.

    Be an original. Get the first Bloom prototype. Not a copy but the only one in existence. Way back then we used ping sensors instead of IR and the case was cut in half. You can see it in the video near the end. it will come in a special glass case with a plaque on it Saying "Your name" - "grew Bloom." It will be number 0. This is a functioning Bloom.
