Great Scott! This is heavy!

Do want!

If they're only a few hundred dollars I will be sure to order them whenever they are publicly available.

12. But the Cubs aren't going to win the World Series in 2015.

No way.

3. Not seeing it

Nothing but T-shirt ads and a dysfunction website.

4. The shirts help fund it.

As you can see it is very real.

5. I see now. Still looking for a picture of the printer being prototyped

thanks.

9. Really? What do you see?

I can't tell from that website what it is they are making. Apart from selling teeshirts.

They're designing a new 3-D printer? Or using a 3-D printer to prototype some mystery project that they forgot to describe at all on their website?

[seveneyes]

15. Well, I did read where they appear to be building a 3D printer

"Our 3D Printer has been fine tuned and is putting out consistent results."

It would be nice to find a picture of what it looks like.

6. Yeah, that site is really unhelpful

What are power laces? All I see is tee shirts and a blog with posts about the problems with their kickstarter campaign.

Care to fill us in? What are power laces? What do they do? Why are you excited about them?

10. Power laces are the self lacing shoes seen in BTTF Part II.

Here is a demonstration of a prototype of what is being made

13. no bulky equipment..

aside from the full hi-top shoes connected to the power laces.

[Matariki]

16. Seriously? Shoes that tie themselves?

I thought you were excited over something cool like hovercraft shoes.

I think I'll put up a kickstarter for food that eats itself. Or TV's that watch themselves.

7. I want my power armor first.

8. This helpful link for instance:

For more detailed information, check out this blog post. > the link in that sentence goes to a page that says: "Sorry, we couldn't find this page."

No wonder their funding has been a problem
