Go to Post No offense, but telling the Killer Bees they should do something is like telling Micheal Jordan how to dunk a basketball (or Lebron James for you young'ens who don't know who Michael Jordan is)... - Don Wright [more]

I am in no way accusing you of not doing due diligence or appropriate testing, or questioning your results, but I think it's important for teams to know whether testimony they are basing their purchasing decisions on is coming from an end user or essentially from the inventor(s)/vendor.

Their team helped to design them and from that seems like they help build them as well.
