These are roughly the milestones: November First Schematic Volunteers needed to take responsibility for various parts of process December Venue established and locked in Language proponents designated Sources of up-front money established First prototype of electronics January First prototype of entire robot completed and tested Order long leadtime parts February Order most parts mid-month Initial marketing and sales effort E-commerce site set up to take orders March Kitting party! Distribute kits by mid-month April Continue marketing and sales May SRS Contest on 4th PARTS Contest on 19th Customers The kit will be targeted toward the first-time roboticist. It should therefore be as complete and self-contained as possible, yet have lots and lots of room for expansion so as to provide a challenge even for an experienced user. Cost Kit, complete with servos, for $50. Absolute max $75. Prototype kit We expect to create a half-dozen or so prototypes before full-scale production. Production volume Production runs of 100 units are actually the most economical. Price breaks generally occur at 25, 100, and 500, so it doesn't make sense to make an runs of more than 100. Initial production run of 100 units Second production run of 100 units, given sufficient demand Additional units in increments of 25 Order fulfillment E-commerce site set up to take orders Kitting party sometime in March Funding Funded, up front, by individuals Electronics, PCBs, Chassis, Basic compiler are all funded Up-front money still needed to buy the Servos Documentation Assembly guide Web Site Component sources (for components not included, if any)
