We've had an amazing show at Awe 2023. Loads of great contacts and conversations and we won one of the show's prestigious awards. I think it's fair to say the EXIT SUIT has been well received. It'll be a couple of weeks processing all the leads but there's lots of exciting stuff being talked about.

We threw caution to the wind and let people get into the suit and try it out. We got over seventy people through it before it finally broke just an hour before the show closed. (Snapped at a place in the base where we'd had to make a part in a lower strength material as something hadn't turned up). Nobody was hurt and seeing what broke and how is a crucial part of the development.

Just as we were packing up, I had another conversation with Lucas. We're going to build a few suits together at MIT for the Reality Hack this year. We thought we would try and get Thrill involved too and make him a suit at the same time. That'll be the next trip to the USA in Jan 2024 I think...
