Message	Guys, I want to see if there is enough interest to justify completing the development of these past prototype stage. As of today, the cost is going to be in the $60 range (the first prototype took ~12 hours to build!). If there is significant interest, our next step would be to find ways to reduce the machine cycle time to reduce cost. We would also look at different materials to reduce costs (I personally would love a titanium mousepad though!). Lastly, a significant portion of the proceeds would go to Damon and Twinturbo.net. Please let me know your feedback and check out the video here to see how sweet it looks with an optical mouse. :-) Got racing pedals? ........................Decisions, Decisions, Decisions........................
