      In this kickstarter priject you will nitice sketchup was used in the early development of this technology, A oil spill cleanup using robotic/remote sailing boats.

      Spilled oil moves downwind from its source following surface currents. Traditional oil skimmers pull oil-absorbent booms and trace random linear paths in a sea of oil. But a better way to capture this oil is to sail upwind, intercepting the oil sheens traveling downwind. Protei harnesses the wind in order to power an unmanned sailing drone, pulling a long oil-absorbent ‘tail’ upwind. A fleet of many Protei will work automatically as a swarm, or be remotely controlled by coastal residents and on-line gamers.

          Excellent, so kickstarter projects do work, and do benefit sketchup users, thanks Bertier, I have being scrolling through kickstarter and I must say there are many more 3D printer projects, and they are all proving successful so far, each 3D printer has it's unique features but what makes them all the same is the low price, in fact 1 iv seen if you fund for $500 you get 1 for yourself, now that's a great deal, I hope to hear more examples here from others, where you may have funded a project, started a project or simply looking into a current project at present, anyone here planning a kickstarter project? Share it and tell us about it. 😄

              The funding for the oculus rift I posted earlier has just finished and a huge success it was too, looks like it will be available sometime next yr, I'll be keeping my eye on that product and look forward to its release, I'm sure at some stage we will be all imursed in our SU virtual space once this beauty is released, looking forward to it.

                      Sorry for posting this kickstarter project, it has no relation to sketchup but i had to give ye all heads up on this as i know there are some wing commander and freelancer vets here on the forums, Chris Roberts has returned from movie making to develop this space sim, and the pure scale of this is just beyond belief, you just need to view the clips to see for yourself, i also posted earlier about the oculus rift, a new VR headset which is being made compatible with star citizen, anyway 10 days left to back this already successful project, i backed it and if you are interested in backing can you please submit i recommended it to you, ha ha, there is a prize for the most friends introduced, wouldnt mind getting my hands on this, so have a look at this space sim if its your thing 😄

                      You can fund both here
                      http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/
                      or here
                      http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen?ref=live

                      If your not interested its still worth checking out for modellers, on average a character in a game is 10000 faces, in star citizen its 10 times that, yes at 100000 faces, a ship would be 30000 faces but star citizen is 300000 faces, the detail has never being so big in a game before, and its worth looking at how detailed they actually are 👍
