    Firefly Fencing

    Anyone know anything about them?

    They're on the vendor list for this weekend. Their website is spartan. [/understatement] It does, however, include the following text:

    Are they the people that are supposed to be producing the mythical $100 scoring machine?

    If it isn't, 40% of their target market won't believe in the product and 20% will be unsure about getting it

    They evidently need a copy editor.

    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Maybe it can 'become' a bigger scoring machine that will grow over time and become the huge massive scoring machine we have seen at final strips.

    Maybe it is more than meets the eye...

    Will they provide discounts to Registered Companions? Will using it make you Fast Like a Freak? Is it the best equipment company in the 'Verse?

    This idea is so awesome I think I'd buy one if it was anywhere near possibly coming true.*




    * The "expanding Skynet scoring machine", that is.

    So did they break the lights off a bunch of fireflies to make the LED's? Looks like about the right color.

    In action? It's just a box, it sits there.

    Ok, for the undereducated....

    How about a picture with the lights on or the remote is there a remote, does the box keep score, does it only have a clock?

    Laugh now if you want to, I was in the suburbs when it was going on and I think the response was appropriate.
