Ahoy there, Potato Pirates!
We've prepared a preliminary survey for you; this is for us to test the waters to see if we can hit minimum orders in multiple languages, and also to have an estimate on shipping costs. You also get a sneak peek at all these tuber-awesome add-ons which will be made available at the end of the campaign! This isn't the real deal. We'll send another official survey all proper once the campaign ends.
We absolutely love this innovative product made by our friends! Woobo is the smartest educational robot for kids, created by a team of MIT, CMU and Harvard graduates. Empowered by advanced AI technology, Woobo is a fluffy companion who can:
• talk with kids and answer their questions in a kid-safe way
• play educational interactive games and teach them fun things about the world
• help parents stay in touch with their kids, and make maintaining healthy habits fun.
Woobo is a learning launchpad to inspire curiosity and imagination in children and is a tool for parents as a helping hand.
CLICK HERE to head over to their Kickstarter campaign page to check out Woobo: The Education Robot for Curious kids.
P.s. Woobo is on Kickbooster! Share their campaign with your friends and they will give you 10% of every single dollar you help them raise. So, if you earn them $100, you earn $10 cash! All you have to do is CLICK HERE and they will give you a unique link to share with your friends and family. The more you share, the more you will earn! Thanks for supporting them!

Guys, guys.
We have surpassed $100k with more than 2000 backers.
I repeat, this is not a drill - we've passed our $100,000 stretch goal!!
You, our dear backers, keep blowing us away with your support (we're running out of ropes to tie ourselves down with), and we're so humbled by all of it.
$100k Stretch Goal: French Fried Island
What awaits us here...?
We have reached the shores of French Fried Island, where a mysterious entity lurks. Known only as "The Frying Dutchman", it is rumoured to be a terrifying battleship, capable of sinking any who oppose it, never needing to reload it's fearsome arsenal...even now, many other potatoes report seeing its ominous visage lurking around the waters of French Fried Island.

A Legion of Potato Pirates

– Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 10:08:44 PM
Ahoy me hearties!
2 weeks since we launched and we've amassed OVER 1,000 backers! Right now we're nearing 1,300 backers, and we're so stoked about that! Hence, the name of the update. We've been putting together a few exciting updates for you, that's why this seems to be a rather delayed 1,000 backer update.
12 different languages
Since the last update, our Kickstarter community (i.e. all of you) has been hard at work helping us with translation and localisation. We really did not expect so many people to come forth and volunteer to help with the translation. Thanks to all of you wonderful people, Potato Pirates will now be available in 12 (that's right, 12!) different languages! In no particular order, they are: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Greek and Ukrainian! This is pretty much how we feel right now:
We will release a Print and Play of all the languages which the community has helped to translate. Towards the end of the campaign, we will send out surveys for you to indicate if you'd like to add-on a print version of Potato Pirates in a different language to your current pledge. With this information we can gauge if we can hit the minimum order quantity for each language. We hope to be able to release a print version of as many of the 12 languages we have right now!
Awesome Potato Pirates Merchandise
Say hello to Potato Pirates merchandise! Check out these tuber-awesome t-shirt designs we've put together!
These bad boys will also be available at about 20 USD as add-ons for all backers at the end of the campaign. If you have other merchandise ideas or t-shirt design suggestions, tell us in the comments below! If it's wacky and awesome enough, we'll make it a reality!
SPOILER ALERT!

We just couldn't control ourselves. We've been working on an awesome Kickstarter Exclusive Card, which all our backers will be eligible for, so rejoice! More in the next update, so look out for that!
