I like the 'safety features' section

"There is no redundancy or backup system. It is not even robustly made.
Loose wires literally dangle out the bottom. In the fairly likely event of
the software crashing, a wire coming loose, a component failing, or the
batteries running low, the wheels will lock and the entire kinetic energy of
the system will be used to accelerate my head toward the ground. "

ROFLMAO

I like how he said it was so easy to build, considering all he did was copy
it. And at $2500, I think I'd spend the extra $2500 to get the extra bells
and whistles.

Except even purchasing a real one would not solve the fundamental design
flaw that this guy discovered - you look like an utter idiot/geek riding
around on it. He claims you'd need no less than 3 cellphones and a PDA
strapped to your belt to achieve the same level of nerdiness.
