So it is July and people are taking their weeks off one by one. Even I just got back from my vacation. It's great to work hard, but it's also great to get out with the family and explore a little bit too. We will be pushing our KickStrater Campaign back to sometime in the middle of August. We have delayed the KickStarter mostly because of our CV breakthrough. We are now placing components more accurately than ever! We want to be able to have the best KickStarter we can possibly have, and we believe having a video showing much greater accuracy will be a great boost.

Also, we are now much faster than the video shown in our details. In that video we are placing about 800 components per hour. We are now much faster, and of course more reliable. The next videos will show it all: speed, accuracy, repeatability, ability to place multiple boards, the smallest part we can place, the largest part we can place, the lowest pitch part we can place, auto tool changing, and the CV and UI!
