Thanks for letting us know about the movie update; fascinating to watch indeed.
I absolutely adore the O-Bouys; they very much satisfy my inner geek, with all the battery parameters, loads, etc. How much do they cost? Do I want to know?...
We need more of them. Lots more.
Has anyone ever thought about crowd funding them? I would love to have one of my own, sponsored by my company. I'm just a small mom and pop outfit, but maybe big corporations that are looking to have a green image would sponsor them more readily.
I guess their longevity is pretty poor? That's unfortunate. What is the longest lived one?
What exactly causes them to die? It seems that they tumble over and drown, even though they're designed to float? Is it a solvable engineering challenge - better stability perhaps? Or more waterproof, so they can just pop back up after being run over? That would probably increase costs significantly, I suppose..
Sorry, just thinking aloud here, but I think my newbie-ness shows through.
They just seem like such a valuable tool, and it's really depressing to see both that there have only ever been 15 deployed and only one appears alive...
