The rental price will be 400$ per day, but I think we might be able to bring it down to 300$. As per the model of telepresence robot, though we have not talked to anyone officially we are planning on the new Double Robotics model, and also in future on Beam Pro.

Thank you, added the favicon. If you like the idea and want to receive updates don't forget to signup.

Have you ever wanted to attend an event in a different country or on the other side of your country? But have been worried about travel, time, money and energy expenses to schedule the trip and attend the event.

Splinch comes to rescue. Splinch is a telepresence robot rental service that enables you to attend events at anyplace (currently only in US in Boston, Worcester, DC, NYC) in the world from the comfort of your home or office.

We would love to have your feedback, comments and opinions on your first impression of hearing about the service, things that can be added, concerns, 'would you pay for the service?', and any other query.

If you love the idea, don't forget to Get Splinched.

Do you guys deliver the robot to the event?
Yes, we will deliver the robot to the event and perform the initial setup also.
Pricing for telepresence robot on the market varies from @300 to $15,000.http://telepresencerobots.com/comparison It's good to have a rental service, but what would the rental price? What model of telepresence robot will you offer?

BTW, you should have a favicon for your website. It looks bad on the browser tab.
