Absolutely, but how would you approach it so it gets approved and what kind of rewards would be offered? What is the cost of islands you've looked at that would be suitable for what you want?

Well what size are YOU thinking? I think the landing could be quite rough as well, both on body and the frog. Either way, frogs are cool and a frog robot would be neat.

What was the size of the frog prototype and how well do you think it'll scale?

I have been following the robot build on your Youtube channel for a few years now and I just wanted to thank you for taking video and sharing your adventure with me. I have a few questions for you if you have the time and don't mind:

  • I imagine you grow your own food? If so, what all do you grow throughout the year and how much space does it take?
  • What do you do for an internet connection while on your mountain?
  • What are the electronics on the kit like and how do they work with Arduinos or other microcontrollers?
  • You have mentioned that you would like to release and are working on some schematics, but you want to make sure they work first. Do you have any idea of when you'll be releasing the designs for the spider robot or any others?
  • You only mention use with 3D printers, how possible would it be with a CNC machine such as the Shakepo?

Thank you again for your time and videos.

Yeah, I like your outlook/philosophy on most things and your island sounds awesome and something I have wanted for myself for a long time. Unfortunately I don't think I would have much to offer your island at this point and not sure how I would get in on that.

As for the electronics, great! That is what I was hoping for and when I get a robot (If the kickstarter doesn't go through then I imagine I'll wait for schematics to 3D print or CNC my own) I have access to both Arduino and Raspberry Pi, but imagine I'll do most of the stuff through Arduino. I'll make sure to get any thing I do over to you so you can share and/or use.

Anyway, thank you for sharing your life with me on the internet and taking the time to respond to my questions! I look forward to seeing everything else you put out there!
