Interwsting plan to find a new crew to take up the mantle on the scene while they step away since they don't have time anymore. Doubt it'll pay off though since they obviously spent years mastering this hardware and it's unlikely anyone else will invest as much time. Hope I'm wrong.
In theory everything you need is in those binaries. We had to start from nothing. There's already a lot you can learn from the device just by running your own code on it.
It's cool tho read the creator speaking :-)
In general we like to have it all given and explained, but this kind of contest always will interested someone.
Thanks!
