So today we decided to ditch the whole silly "educators discount" nonsense, and just apply that discount to everybody. It complicated our projections enough that we just decided it wasn't a good idea. Thus the kickstarter rewards silver-platinum have been restructured into the following:
- Silver - Still 1 Muribot and all the goodies but now it only takes a pledge of $250.00!
- Gold - Limited edition Golden Muribot, I expected it to cost more the make these, but it didn't cost significantly more to give the case a nice gold-leaf finish so these are only $300!
- Platinum Gold - Just 2 Muribots, with all the goodies of course, this is now $450.
Now we're actually happy we haven't had any backers for those levels yet! Or else we would be stuck with those pledge levels!! These ones are much more in line with our "don't be greedy" philosophy and will definitely provide us with the funds we need after kickstarters fee, taxes, and rewarding our backers.
Currently we only have 1 backer, which is just silly! There's got to be more people out there than this guy, who are deeply interested in STEM education. Come oooooon, we know you're out there!
Starting this week, you can expect to see Muribot in a few articles on the web :D and we've also partnered with Ayudos and Backercamp for promotion. we have a about 42 people locally who are ready to support the kickstarter but they don't want to do it unless it's going to be successful since they could just give us the money. That's annoying, but at the same time it's nice to have such local support so thank you all.
Check back here for the latest MurInformation regarding our kickstarter! We'll keep you posted!
