So, it’s going to be a race to working. So, it’s going to be a race to to get to get that done. It’s going to to get to get that done. It’s going to to get to get that done. It’s going to be a really really cool one. Probably be a really really cool one. Probably be a really really cool one. Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever built if I the coolest thing I’ve ever built if I the coolest thing I’ve ever built if I could pull it off. So, it’s it’s pretty could pull it off. So, it’s it’s pretty could pull it off. So, it’s it’s pretty risky because it’s really hard risky because it’s really hard risky because it’s really hard technically. I’m already really technically. I’m already really technically. I’m already really struggling to get this working. Uh I struggling to get this working. Uh I struggling to get this working. Uh I have an idea of how to do it, but I got have an idea of how to do it, but I got have an idea of how to do it, but I got to figure out and actually build it. So, to figure out and actually build it. So, to figure out and actually build it. So, stay tuned. That’s hopefully in two stay tuned. That’s hopefully in two stay tuned.
