* ''On the power supply, why is V- connected to GND?'' Internally, these power supplies do not electrically connect V- to GND. This is for added flexibility from the manufacturer in cases where you might want to stack power supplies to create higher voltages. First off, note that in our situation, the frame is connected to GND. We want V- to be connected to GND such that any detached live wires that contact any metal surfaces short to GND and blow a fuse, disabling the machine but not destroying any other electronics other than the fuse.

 * ''Where did the name come from?''
-** ''The short answer is: "because I was so happy I got it working." The long answer is that I wanted a name that didn't take itself too seriously and tied to a feeling or some sort of human experience. I think the NASA Mars Rovers do a great job of this with names like Sprit, Opportunity, and Curiosity. I think Jubilee would be a sweet NASA Mars Rover name. --Joshua''

 * ''Can I buy Jubilee as a kit?''
-** Alas, no. Currently, the only way to put together Jubilee is to source parts individually from the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pRzBQxVzL9c4T9b1RrKvSjlSwJJhJ7NcbSV6iJUv0X0/edit?pli=1#gid=0 shopping list] and fabricate the printed parts yourself.
+** Yes, actually. In a community collaboration, Jubilee is now available from [https://www.filastruder.com/collections/jubilee/products/jubilee-motion-platform-kit Filastruder].
