Packed and ready to ship! I'm glad I'm only gone a few days because there's not a lot of room left for clothing around the 18lbs of robot goodness!

Spent the morning taking 3D renders of every part for the BOM list, 2x checking the COGs and MSRP.

I'm really proud of Luke, Jen, and the rest of the team. This robot is exactly the best we can do and we are damn proud of it. A couple of days from now we're going to knock everybody's socks off when they see how great it is, and I'm looking forward to directing people to the Marginally Clever website for early access developer orders.

By my calculations we can get the first orders out the door Nov 7 and ship up to Dec 12 for Christmas delivery, or Nov 31 for Hanukkah.

We're going to offer free shipping anywhere in Canada, the continental USA, Hawaii, or Alaska on the first 100 units and we'll be actively seeking distributors at the NY Maker Fair.

Stay tuned for the price and the order URL this weekend.
