I noticed a seeing a 996 or a BCT15 in the inside on the passenger side while they were explaining the wireless video cameras. Good to see our tax money at work.

I was under the impression that v2 did not involve the use of the nation's tax money during a Q & A session but I could be wrong too.??

Yep - wrong. They have a grant from the NSF. It wasn't as much as they needed, and certainly not what the research is worth, but at least got two years of minimal operations...
