hi i'm joe jones inventor of turtle 15 years ago I created Roomba small user friendly robot that cleans home floors all by itself since room is amazing success I've been looking for opportunities for other practical robots I found a great one in the garden it's called turtle turtle is a robot that eliminates weeds it's solar powered chemical free and waterproof everyday it charges itself in the Sun and when it has enough energy it goes patrolling for weeds my name is Rory McKean and the CEO of Franklin robotics turtle uses the height of the plant to decide if it's good or if it's bad if it's taller than an inch should leaves it alone if it's smaller than an inch it cuts it turtle has two methods of removing weeds the first is a small nylon string on the bottom of the robot that spins rapidly to cut the weeds the second is the design of the wheels as the robot drives around the wheel scrub the surface of the soil damaging pre-emergent weeds turtle doesn't need to pull weeds because it chops them every day even if it's chopped weed sprouts again Koda will keep chopping it down until it runs out of store energy and dies there's no mapping or programming required for turtle you put the robot in the garden fresco and the robot takes care of the rest turtle uses bluetooth to talk to the user smartphone there's an app that accompanies turtle through the app you can learn about conditions in your garden and what turtle has been doing because turtle cuts the weeds every day the clippings are small so they fall back onto the ground and travel up returning the nutrients to the soil to inform turtle that you want to keep a small plant you put one of the provided plant collars around the seedling this lets turtle know that it's a desired plant once the plant is larger you can remove the collar if you like turtle collects some energy even on cloudy days and it uses this energy very carefully thus it can keep operating through extended cloudy periods turtle is helped by the fact that we can't grow very fast when there's no Sun turtle can easily cover the typical garden size in the US which is about a hundred square feet given favorable soil conditions or sunny climates turtle is able to cover more area than that turtle is round in short it has four-wheel drive and extreme camber wheels those are all design choices that improve total mobility in the garden turtle requires a barrier to keep it from wandering away from the garden this could be the edge of a raised bed a chicken wire fence or some other type of Florida we've been developing turtle over the past two years constantly testing prototyping and iterating to make the best product that we can the launch and kick started because we need your help to bring turtle to production with your support today you can be one of the first to have turtle in your garden because weeding sucks you should make a robot do it I'm wearing here today is the body guard it's a basic concept of taking the weapon out of your hand and putting it into a system that's worn on your arm what makes I think the body guards so unique is the fact that hold it up Dave it can't really ever be taken away from you like a gun or a baton it sits in a glove and it gives one the ability to to fight to shoot and still have this this is a what we call a non-lethal weapon you can see there's plenty of real estate under the shield here for other technologies from biometrics GPS communications you name it this idea was hatched on the back patio of my my house where David was once again thinking about other people besides himself and it was developed as a non-lethal weapon something that would save lives something that would detour deterrent behavior that could absolutely escalate basically creating this as a platform and then allowing you to embody as many technologies that you can imagine to make it smart and a good way to defend yourself out there in the world let me stand back just a little bit there without days Oh what we want to do is bring the physical experience of using the energy the impact that you get at a concert or club into the real world where you can have it everywhere and anytime you want bass is really the part of the music that connects you to the music physically in a club you get that big energy from a big sound system if you put on the music the next day and it's just attached one's own which is missing that part whatever music you're listening to it adds a physical element to it which is something that you're totally missing normally in a home listening or on-the-go environment people are pushing the envelope of what they can get out of those big systems what's the way that they make decision when we put put the based on someone's arm and we turn on the music and soon as the Beast kicks in they have this big smile on their face because it really pulls you into the music you listen to it but you can also feel it in your body nope assister intent this song is going like more and more aggressive sort of on the bass and you wouldn't think that you know the same pace and it's you know the same intensity that the bass that would be able to match it but it is that's pretty rare so I really feel the kick drum which is nice and then like lemur sustain bass notes and elitism and I think that's really the power of it is the ability to get that you know tactile physical immersion that you get with like sub bass and yet in the end it was just fun I didn't want to take it off you know the baselet has very high fidelity it matches exactly the wave form of the base of the 20 meters for us the main challenge was no technology existed that could do this in such a small size so we had to create our phone differentiate between this and melodic bass line and card kicks so even if the music is a melody and a kick in between you can feel the difference the drums you can actually kind of feel like toms and kick and stuff I felt but more what goes on the run with it inside the baselet is amazing technology we've built our own haptic engine which takes up roughly half the space we've got the other half which is battery to give a really long play time and we've managed to squeeze vo joints around the battery and I have to get it so there's hardly any room for the electronics and it was a tough job to get it into this size the base is really designed as an everyday companion you can hook it up to a smartphone to a computer you can hook it up to a laptop or VR headset you can really use it with anything that you would use for for listening to music or playing games or watching movies the basis designed to be really easy to use you just plug and play basically there's no app to load there's no software to configure ideally in the morning you leave the how to put it on your phone your headphone when you commute to war when you act more whenever you want to listen to music on about I think that's when the beta comes in this actually has a really powerful energizing impact on you I think it's going to be great when you're out about jogging or do sports that it really elevates you can activate you and keeps you going one of the cool things about the bases is that it hooks up to anything that has a headphone out of it and so what I tried right away is hooking up to a synthesizer and you play a bass line and suddenly you have that physical impact or bass you can feel the beat of the music you're creating and if you're a DJ you can also use the baselet to get a sense of how the music will feel on a big sound system in a club as well as for music lovers I'm really making the basic for myself I want to use it every day and we're already at this stage I'm really really happy with that music is certainly the most important content in people's lives so whatever chance I have to make that experience better I'm good I'm going to use it I'm gonna jump on it I wouldn't take it off three other we are power practical we design and make practical power products Kickstarter is where we make our ideas a reality and we're back to announce our latest innovation the jewel the jewel is a smart mug designed to keep coffee or tea at the temperature you set all day long here's the issue coffee is brewed between 195 and 205 degrees but most people enjoy their drink between 120 and 150 degrees that's a big difference if you drink coffee or tea you probably have a collection of the mugs we have dozens and we tested them all ceramic mugs cool too quickly leaving only a few minutes in that ideal drinking range we also have the tongue Scorchers insulated mugs that keep your drink too hot for too long enter the jewel designed to cool your drink quickly to your perfect temperature and then keep it there to the last drop setting your favorite temperature is as easy as twisting the bottom pick a spot between 120 and 150 degrees once the temperature set plug the coaster into a USB port fill up the jewel and place on the coaster the jewels lid is just as important to keeping your drink at that perfect temperature as the technology that powers it the lid has three settings cooling sealed and drinking the lid and the coats are worked together to keep it just right when the light is amber it's too hot with the simple turn of the lid the jewel quickly vent heat and cool your drink if your drink is cooled off the light will turn blue twist the lid to seal this will trap heat and the jewel will warm your drink to the temperature you've set when you're on the go you still mode to keep it hot and prevent spills when the light goes white the temps just right twist the ledge drinking position and enjoy when the jewels on the coaster it will stay at that perfect temperature all day long the jewels coasters were designed for both work and play with two models one for the home or office and one for your car whether you're commuting to work at the office your house or off to the next adventure the jewel will deliver you that perfect cup every time our Kickstarter backers have played a huge role in our company and are ultimately what brought us to life we feel very fortunate to be part of this new wave of business and look forward to seeing you all again please back the Scherer project the GoPro changed the way we capture life's most epic moments from the sky to the ground to beneath the wave however
