    Funding an endeavor like this sounds like no easy task, but I’m glad it worked out for you. I’m sure it will inspire a lot of people to give it a shot.

      It’s definitely an intimidating price tag, but I’d hate to see that keep people from going after it. It’s absolutely doable if you’re patient and resourceful.

    So for me, we crowdfunded to raise the money, and then got the arm directly from Kinova. DM me and I can put you in touch with some people there.
