The kickstarter project is going to be expired in about 2 days. The =
price will go up a bit after the kickstarter promotion. One board now is =
$699 (which will go up to over $1000), and we also have sets of 1299 for =
two boards, 2599 for four boards, and 3899 for 6 boards.
We still has gap to make the kickstarter project success, so if you'd =
like to buy some boards, we appreciate you to back now at =
