WOW! is it available and how much?

The St. Louis MDA is going to have a meeting about it and also be on tv. I did not see any prices. I bet you could email the company or the MDA and find out.

all I can say is WOW. just think how much this could extend quality of life, if not completely cost prohibitive

It looks awesome! But as far as I could see need some hand or foot control to operate. I wonder how much you need? Seems like it would be more difficult than the PWC control?

Very cool. Putting it on my future want list.

 

[AfraidButNotAlone]

Right at the end:
"... It's like $40 / $50K? "
"Yeah. "

$50,000 wow! If that's the price it'll take off pretty slowly I would think.

Just got an email today from MDA saying there's a demonstration in Denver on Jan 21st, 10AM. If interested contact Emily at 303-691-3331.
