Hello WJ,
We are still on track to pursue the "distributed manufacturing" strategy described during our Kickstarter campaign. You can find it detailed
here. We've been refining how we'll manage it based on what we've learned as we've developed manufacturing and quality assurance procedures here in house.
We have already had a number of potential producers in Europe contact us. However, I'm not sure how soon we will begin to focus on expanding to distributed production. At the moment our focus is on getting a little further with "App" development and establishment of an "App" ecosystem. And we are still at production volumes we can handle. So, for the short term we will be selling and shipping internationally from here at ShopBot.
