Typical sponsor lead times for us are 2 to 3 weeks, so having something in house will be a huge help.

973 built a much simpler router based on some linear actuator modules that they got surpluses somewhere. You can ask Adam for more info.
I'll talk to Adam. What advantages does your router have over the simpler one?
