    Random thoughts:

    1. I love this is out of the box thinking.
    2. The price point is fantastic and will generate sales.
    3. The initiative to make all your own mechs is really neat.
    4. I trust you have calculated your price in view of your costs.
    5. When finished I would buy one for my arcade.

    HOWEVER:

    6. Your launch as indicated by the product video is too early. It’s an definitely cool but unrefined prototype. You are at least a year out from any shipping product.
    7. The deposit before it’s finished, no matter how small, no matter what you say about refundability is worrisome given it follows a well worn definitely NOT outside the box playbook and is a non starter for me.
    8. Your price worries me and makes me question whether ALL costs of being a business have been fully considered beyond BOM.

    I would love to be proven wrong on 6-8. Count me in once the early adopters have given their thumbs up and units are ready and assembled to be shipped.

    It is unfortunate this all went down as it did. Hopefully everything can cool down eventually. I might suggest that this thread and others like it get moved over into the homebrew thread. That is not intended to be any disrespect to Adam, but I can't help but feel that once something lands in the commercial space people think (wrongly) you get to go after it if it falls short of other manufacturers (which by its very nature it will). In the homebrew section this would be accorded the time and space and mostly judgement free zone it likely could benefit from to become a finished pin. Then one can think about commercial production and all that goes with that.
