Inspecting the troops

Please no more Segways until production units flying out of assembly! And gimbals rock.

Tube and inside of the glass looked very dirty. Will we need to clean those as part of regular maintenance?

Nice big office! Guess y’all rally have grown by leaps and bounds.

dan has said that they have a no clean policy to see what level of dirty over what time accumulates and where if it impacts performance

I imagine from the look of the space you are all a fairly thrifty lot. No $15,000 conferences tables. I do see all kitchen stuff as tools and it pays to buy quality, especially if it’s a Craiglist find.

Play at work is good.

Jack being dull and what have you.

Yes, I saw that on Amazon…and boy, I was tempted. My husband has quite noticeable balance issues now though, so I’m pretty sure something like this would not be a great idea. We paid around $5,000 for ours. If you don’t take care of the batteries, they were $1,800 for a pair. Fortunately, not something we had to do. We had to replace a damaged fender and some other thing once…horrendously expensive. Maybe that’s all changed now. In my opinion, that’s why more people at that time didn’t own one…the big ticket purchase amount. We were the only people in our little town to own one, and we could have caused a lot of mishaps around town from people staring as we sailed by. Gosh…what fun it was, though .

@rachael told me a story on her first day that one of her old teammates had promptly fractured a wrist on the first generation of hoverboards. Safety gear is on its way.

Exactly what @clone said - we like to keep them dirty just in case some of you all decide to do the same.

Depends a lot on the subject. We’ve written checks for $50,000 to expedite a part that could threaten our schedule, but we use ikea desks and bought our chairs secondhand.

That sounds like a sight!

Exactly my worries!

I have one in the office and one of my guys tried it. Fell off and hurt his ribs. Doctor told him he shouldn’t be playing on “those things” but said he’d be fine in a couple of weeks.

Three weeks later he’s still not any better. Goes back to the doctor. They don’t know why he’s still in serious pain so they do a bunch of tests. Turns out he has (had) cancer. But the good news is it was caught soon enough to be treated and he’s fine now. Doctor said he’d likely never have noticed anything was wrong if he hadn’t gotten hurt and didn’t heal as expected so they did more tests. If they hadn’t found it when they did the prognosis would have been grim.

So for all the naysayers about these out there, they can save lives!
