You'd be waiting a while. This was a good idea. I'd still like to see it work. But between our 3 teams, the interest drifted as we got closer to kickoff. As far as a collaborative effort, it seemed most weren't interested in either the idea or working in this way - or everyone was just too busy. This was actually Georges idea. I'm not sure he was ready for the world to see it (Tytus you might owe George some royalties now)... What you see there is a stage it was in. It did get further than that. I bet 190 could do something with it.
Personally looking back on it, I think it might be a bit too many resources committed to the drive system. George, Nathan, you guys out there? You wanna finish this thing?
