Just trying to inject a little positivity in this thread! From my perspective there is alot of bitching, although it's easier for me to say because I don't have any money invested in the campaign. Regardless, IMO the bitching is completely unwarranted.

Hey Everyone,

We’re here with the November 1st update. All of the Grasshopper parts are in our manufactures hands, and are slowly arriving at our facility. Since the last update, we’ve submitted software tweaks, created a User’s Manual, and continued to work with our manufacturers.

The Grasshopper software has been getting small updates since Version 1 was created months ago. Version 1 was intended to ship with the first Hoppers, but due to the delays with manufacturing over the last few months, we’ve improved it to get more out of the electronics. We’ve shrunk the size by switching to a low-level assembly language, and added more features with the extra space. We’re pleased that we’ll be able to ship a better version to you.

While we work with our manufacturers and await the arrival of more parts, we’ve been tackling some other important tasks. The Users Manual is something that we didn't even feel was absolutely necessary, but for legal reasons and for complete clarity, one is being included. Dustin has been working hard to draw up a simple manual including instructions, pictures and warnings. Expect to see one in your Grasshopper’s box.

The arrival of each new batch of parts can be nerveracking. We test each one for consistency and compatibility using precision calipers. This is the time when we check the manufacturer's work for errors, and this will ultimately ensure a quality product. We’ve had good results with almost all of our parts. Trevor is shown below checking the diameter on some of the dials a few weeks ago.

Boxes of packaging awaiting Hoppers.


We’re pleased that there haven’t been any problems or hiccups since laying out the goal to have our first units ready before the end of the year. We’re on target for that, and we hope to keep it that way. Check back on November 15th for more photos, news, and information.

Didn't the update say that there are more boxes (packaging) inside those larger boxes? :nod:

I don't think we have been harsh, k. Just a little fun while we wait for our 'hoppers. Harsh, might be some of the comments up on the crowd sourcing site...

There are a few people on here that are pissed off with the long wait, but the majority of us know that there is nothing we can do but wait. Patience, truly is a virtue when you invest in crowd sourced projects. :2c::peace:

Yep, that was what I read as well, those boxes are filled with the final packaging that the Grasshopper's will be resting in.

They said they are still on track for delivering the first units before the end of the year. Even if there happened to be another delay, still sounds to me like some people will have them in their hands soon enough. Once that happens I would expect things to move pretty quickly from that point on.

Hopefully at least one of the first units to go out makes it into the hands of someone who is a member here, that way everyone else will finally be able to see some real world use. Either it will live up to it's claims, or will fail horribly. Should be a good show soon enough however it ends up.

I've used some sarcastic font in my comment, thought you'd have guessed. ;)

Titanium prob 2015 :/ going to a stealthy color pushes me back I think. Nice to see they try to do things even while waiting for parts like tweaking things here and there.
