Hi, my name is Rory and I am the one behind the project.

We are working towards a crowdfunding launch in 2014 as stated on page 47 of the white paper: http://www.scribd.com/doc/169536137/FarmBot-Humanity-s-Open-...

We've received a good amount of donations so far and will be ordering materials for the initial design this week and next.

I'm currently recruiting other students at my local university to work on the project, and we plan to flesh out the wiki with timelines, design files, and progress updates soon.

Thanks for checking out the project!

Thanks for clearing it up. However, I'm still not sure on what my donations would be used for at this stage (I guess you could say a lack of transparency) but I wish you the best of luck and hope you get enough backers to make this work.

Could be something of REAL benefit to the world, which is more than most HN stories can say.
