I Want!

[stonebender]

I'm very excited this happened, but I will confess that I feel a little conflicted. This is very good news for many people who use wheelchairs. Unfortunately, I see from here that I may need a more usable arm than I have currently. I hope they can find a way for folk to drive this wheelchair using some of the current off-the-shelf wheelchair control systems. For example I would need them to be able to let me drive the wheelchair with my chin or perhaps a "sip and puff" (like Chris Reeves) to drive the wheelchair. Still, it's very good news!

Call them.

Make the suggestion - I'm sure they'd want to hear from you. I think it would be awesome if they were able to adapt one of these for you, and I can't see any reason why it couldn't be done.

Will do! I have had on-again off-again correspondence with them (I tried really hard to be one of their beta testers). So they shouldn't be completely unaware of my opinion, but reminders are a good thing.

Of course I still have to figure out how to get one! :-)
