Cool project and am glad to see RethinkDB getting some love, a couple questions, specifically about the hardware, came to mind:

Do you order the hardware and then place it wherever you like, or do you guys set it up?

How does shipping it work?

What is it underneath: Raspberry Pi + custom stuff (batteries etc)?

Will you be offering fancier machines later on, as in a machine that lets you input text?

Thanks for posting, i might well have use for this some day.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Yes, using our web platform you are able to create campaigns and attach stations to it. Everything is automatic and just informs the team that a new station need to be placed on point X for Y duration. Once placed and activated the stations need to further watching.

Yes, Raspberry + WiFi + Batteries. :)

We are experimenting with a lot of things. Hitting, high-fiveing, jumping on the buzzer and many more. They all have there pro and cons. Haha
