Congrats, this seems like a cool product. Fantastic name. You didn't mention that it has an IMU in it.

One other thing, you should say something about what, if anything, you'll do with the contact information of people who sign up.

Thanks :)

You're right, I forgot to mention it. But it's there! As someone with a background in motion recognition I thought it'd be a great addition, even if the use cases aren't clear yet. Ends up being less than a dollar extra to the BOM.

Regarding contact info - we're just holding onto it in a spreadsheet until our next production run is ready, then we'll e-mail to confirm interest, and then ship out the units to the address.

Pretty much anyone is qualified as long as they are either with some existing organization and have a project idea, or they're a developer/academic and can describe their project briefly. Basically we just don't want to give them out to anyone who doesn't show any intent to use it.
