Re: Blue Robotics, Kickstarter!

Hello everyone! Thanks for the positive comments. We're really excited to be past our goal and now we have some cool stretch goals. We still have 24 days left so be sure to spread the word to other teams and friends. Thanks!

@BBray_T1296 - Thanks! I'm glad you like the thruster. Just for reference, we are using two thrusters on an 8ft long, 2ft wide surfboard that weighs around 40 lb and it goes up to 6 ft/s. For a smaller vessel, one may work fine. The thrusters are most efficient at lower throttle settings so if you want very high efficiency you may want to use two. We are using two for skid steering so that we don't need a rudder.
