Awesome job. The first is always a great feeling. But do not be surpirsed when the others give you just as much excitment.

Well done.

Congrats on the build!

I think you will find that 3 controllers are not going to be enough.

Don't take what I am saying the wrong way. It's like eating nuts. Can you eat just 3?

Ya, you say in the beginning "All I need are three controllers".  I said "All I needed was one". I have 12 and looking to get into the next coop!

Is it ever enough?
