68 has a few prototypes working. We're still testing different ideas, though. Hopefully by the end of this week or next we will have settled on a design.

And no, we're not using the kitbot.

as far as that goes i have a couple of questions that is probably cause im a rookie.

1. What is a dremel bit?
2. how do they shatter?
3. if it shattered why did it "throw" shrapnel? it should have dropped.
4. why did it only hit his goggles?
