Before I start, I just wanted to say sorry for not posting in a while. This stuff isn't child's play you know.

Back to business. For the suit, I filled out a form online for a Sparkfun Sponsorship program. After I forgot about it in a while, I get this:


For those unable to read the image, it basically says Sparkfun wants to give me a $200 hardware donation (with a $17 squeeze).

At first, I was thinking of getting stuff for a HUD system, but I realized I had a lot of materials for HUD already, and the remaining would take up the sponsorship money. So, I decided to use it on weaponry, flight, the exo suit, the donning system, and Jarvis. Today, i'm supposed to give a list, so i'm making sure I put everything correctly.

Flight is going well. I am working to see if I can add a liquid to make the electricity that comes into the Ion thrusters more electric (basically trying to double the power of electricity that comes in). This will allow the Ion propulsion to make more thrust from less electricity. A huge energy source will still be needed, so that's why i'm working on the arc reactor.

The muon beams in short are not going so well. I will have to make a log or video on this, but basically in short, i'm having a hard time for getting the proton generator to work as it is like hell, and i'm trying to find out how the muon gas chambers will be set up.

Jarvis will be put into the Raspberry Pi (not sure which model yet), and mixed with my coding + a really cool AI I found online called Jasper.

If you want to see something in the suit or have suggestions, comment below.

Thanks!
