Research and Development Funding
Initial seed funding from Dillard Brinson, the father of one of the team members. A grant from the 2006 Burning Man committee was obtained after a proposal was submitted. The final leg of development was funded by Rob Cunningham which enabled the project to obtain space with Great Northern Way Campus. On the 20 August 2006 the project implementation was presented to the public at a fund-raiser which raised USD 1,000 towards the project. An industrial design company Industrialus is listed as a project sponsor also.
