Count me in!
I degisned a possibly-functional Lightsabre idea years ago!
I want them to reach the goal and actually have to make it.Quote:
The main challenge is assuring Kickstarter that this is a joke and not a serious project.
Designs. Now.Quote:

I'm cross they're not actually actually going to do it.
as long as they patch that stupid exhaust port "feature" count me in.
They're going to use chicken wire to cover it.Quote:

What about moving the exhaust vent elsewhere and using this one as a decoy?
It was stoopid to put it in a trench anyway
A deflector shield generator on the exhaust port, or even a small tractor beam would be much better suited.
I think the chicken wire is an interim measure until deflector/tractor beam technology is invented.Quote:

I find your lack of faith disturbing.Quote:
