Grasshopper Pre-order January Update Hey Everyone, We are here to announce that pre-orders will start shipping in February! We are delivering the last of the IGG backer units now and with all the device issues worked out, we are ramping production up further. The team has been working to implement device tweaks, add more manufacturing equipment and increase throughput. Over the last few months, the Grasshopper has undergone a number of small tweaks to ensure reliability over its lifetime. As our original indiegogo backers stress tested the device, we received a lot of real-world data on what worked and what needed improvement. We applied what we learned, and tweaked the design and manufacturing processes to meet the demands of users. This was a valuable process, one that every pre-order will greatly benefit from. In December we added a computer controlled laser welder which allows for greater reliability and five to six times the throughput during the welding process. Our pick-and-place machine will come online this month, allowing for shorter lead times and a more streamlined production process. Our assembly staff has increased in size and is fully trained on the entire process. We know each of you pre-ordered a Grasshopper because you knew it was something new and different. The Grasshopper is different from any other large scale consumer product. With over 75 minutes of in-house assembly time going into each unit, we are looking over every detail. Each member of the team contributes in the construction and shipping of every Grasshopper. It was designed with the singular idea of building the absolute best device and we have put in an insane amount of effort to make building it possible. We know there have been many delays, and we appreciate your patience. Now that we are shipping to pre-orders, the line will move quickly. Your specific estimated shipping schedule will be updated on our website shortly. The Grasshopper Team
