Robotboat Project at Kickstarter: 3 days to go!

[Measure for Measure]

2/3 of the planet is water. 95% of the oceans are unexplored.

A professional team aeronautics engineers out of Maryland wants to build a robot boat to explore the world. They are working on the Mark VI: the Mark I was constructed in the early 1990s.

I'm not sure whether they will make their funding goals, but I thought the people here might be interested in the website: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robotboat/robotboat-mark-vi

Funding deadline in Friday afternoon, Eastern Time, USA.

If funded, their plans will NOT be open source, though their data will be.
