Hi

I’m a coach for the Project Kraken Explorer ROV team, and I just wanted to thank Rusty and the Blue Robotics crew for the great tour they gave of their facility least weekend.

It was very inspiring to see where that one need (for a more cost effective thruster) has lead.  
It also was neat to hear more about the evolution of the company’s products, and meet the people that make it happen.

It’s fantastic that you were overwhelmed with MATE folks who wanted to take the tour. Nicely done.

Phil.
