Ep 40 Our Last Stand

Kick In Show - The Original CrowdFunding Show - live thursdays

Today on the show: We’re taking a stand as not one, but THREE Laptop stands take to kickstarter this month in a head to head to head battle to save your neck. But first this week on Kickstarter CellRobot is capsela on crack, and if you don’t remember capsela from the 80s.. It’s Lego on Super crack! CellRobot is Modular robot that consists of spherical cells that can be controlled from a mobile app and programmed to do a variety of tasks. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/teamcellrobot/cellrobot-hundreds-of-modular-robots-in-one Beer Pong 2.0 is here AGAIN! We reported on a mobile Beer pong game previously in which your favorite drinking game became soberingly difficult by attaching solo cups to a robot that moved and rotated around the table. Well somebody else is doing it, and this time with more than a picture mock up of Cups on a roomba, introducing Pongbot! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1722255993/pongbot-the-new-way-to-play-beer-pong [SAM] Speaking of things people who want to jazz up beer pong might want Car Colognes is a line of air fresheners inspired but legally distinct from high fashion colognes and perfumes. The fragrances are named by city so if you’ve ever wanted your car to smell like the line waiting to get into a Las Vegas nightclub now’s your chance! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/586681926/car-colognes-the-car-air-freshener-reimagined?ref=nav_search For those of you who enjoy a nice hot cappuccino but don’t want to be at home or in a coffee shop when you want one there’s finally an authentic Italian solution to this problem. The Goppuccino is a portable thermos that keeps the milk and espresso separate and at the proper temperature and shaking up the container supposedly combines the ingredients correctly and whips the milk into the proper kind of foam. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1553061578/goppuccino-make-cappuccino-everywhere?ref=nav_search The Wolfe, an external plug and play mac GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) allows high-performance gaming, virtual reality, graphic design, and video-editing for laptops - especially MacBooks.
