Yowza! It's been a LONG day today! And I figured I would take the time to post todays update before I miss my opportunity!

Today I created the kickstarter! But haven't posted it yet, I wanted to make sure that when May 1st comes everything on that end is all ready.

Today I received a brand new batch of cases from Shapeways and as spent a majority of my free time dying cases for a few local orders. I took some video towards the end of the day, so tomorrow I'll throw that video together and post it :) along with a couple others I want to post.

The backer rewards have changed somewhat, when I initially created my rewards list a month ago I for some reason had forgotten that you can't offer discounts as backer rewards. I've also discovered that more than a few people are interested in a Build-Your-Own Muribot Kit, so I've added a reward level for that as well.

Here's a quick summary of the finalized reward levels:

-$1 - A base level for people to support Muribot even if they aren't really interested in owning one
-$25 - Public thank you on Facebook and Twitter
-$50 - Listed as an Early Backer on our website
-$100 - A Mid-Ohio Area Robotics Polo Shirt
-$150 - Bronze - Build-Your-Own Muribot Kit
-$300 - Silver - 1 Fully Assembled Muribot
-$450 - Gold - 2 Fully Assembled Muribots
-$500 - Platinum - Limited Edition Golden Muribot (Only 25!)

Additionally, For Silver/Gold/Platinum level rewards, there will be a small addition of ~$30 to ensure that we can ship you your reward.

Tomorrow I'll be sending the press release to my list of press contacts, and bring as much attention to Muribot as possible prior to launch. I've had a lot of people interested in covering Muribot, which surprised me! If you're interested in writing an article about Muribot please don't hesitate to e-mail me at mstone [AT] moarobotics.com

I have a few drawings I'd like to share with you, that were drawn entirely by Muribot. They're not much but it really demonstrates the precise planned motions that are possible with the platform.

That's it for todays update, stay tuned because tomorrow we'll take a look at the coloring process for the case, and more!
