However, they could easily be done. Add a few brooms and then you'd have a "floor curling" set!</p>

Could you tell me what battery and voltage did you used to power the blower and about how long the battery lasted. Thank you... keep doind those great demos.
BTW I agree with AndyL, it would be nice if you could add some more info and pictures of your demos.</p>

You guys clearly spend a lot of effort putting them together, I'd like to see more than the thirty second highlight reel.</p>

You guys are more than just an electronics company to a lot of us, and I wish you the best as you find your way through all this.</p><p>If I had a beer, I'd drink it in your honor. I'm at work though, so coffee will have to do.</p></p>

I think the local RS has plastic versions in similar sizes for around the same price. I know which ones I prefer :)<p>I was certainly saddened to hear the news today and forgot that you, Sparkfun, were located close to that area. Keep your chin up - we are all thinking about you and wishing you the best.</p></p>
