Miguel, the pellet dispenser is available as an option. It will be included in the upcoming ProZ Group Buy.
Ooooh, a Group Buy! I'll make sure to get up early that day!
A nice touch: the CAT repository to the left of the treadmill walksurface.
Heh, nice! (I wish I could put a "like" on Victor's comment...)
Love it! Our friend Corinne McKay has actually built one, too, and Judy has seen it in action. It's quite nifty and simple (she has a very handy husband). We are tempted....
I've already built myself a standing desk, because my lower back and legs were getting mummified from sitting all day.
Now I proudly stand.
Result: my friggin' heels are about to explode.
Thus, I can clearly see a treadmill in my near future, because nothing can ever be more pathetic than the tip-toeing faux Balinese dance I'm doing right now as I type this.
Actually, I improvised a standing desk because I can’t stay sitting for long periods of time. And I ran across an entry in Corinne McKay’s blog a couple of years back on her treadmill desk. Of course, Corinne is no hamster. But the treadmill desk is a bridge too far for me. There is actually a souped-up $500 version on Amazon.
