do you think taping an arduino and an old nokia phone lcd to a plastic gun you bought on alibaba.com is the pinnacle of creativity?

guys we've had 18 months and $100k and we're just getting ready to maybe start thinking about approaching manufacturers to begin talks to see who might be able to possibly tape the old phone lcds to the plastic guns for us

so, two and a half years and $100,000 later and the phone screens still haven't taped themselves to the plastic guns. why might that be...

that is a bizarre idea, but it's kind of cute and doesn't rely on any unknown technology or promise anything impossible. i kinda like it.

my hands are very fidgety but i wear a ring and play with that.

Normally I'd try and make a sarcastic pitch about the kickstarter, but this one is uniquely bad. On the plus side it's to build a network of support and a community and the funds here will go to pay for a convention. On the downside if you want to fund the spacecraft (and by spacecraft, they mean training a few elite STEM candidates) it's a $500,000 flexible goal on indiegogo

Great.


Do you honestly expect me to print this, put it in a binder, and put it on my coffee table next to my copper sphere, polishing cloth, collapsible leather EDC valet tray, and zombie response team team commander paperweight? I'm gonna need the $85 bound version with vector graphics and whatever, thanks very much.
