<p>Are you tired of hearing that you need a complicated app, a glitchy Bluetooth connection, and a smartphone just to make your invention work? </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Invent America, we sit down with professional basketball trainer turned solo inventor, Craig Bush. Craig saw a massive flaw in athletic training tech: nobody was timing athletes using the actual ball or the athlete's body to trigger the clock. So, he built RepUp—the world’s first smart agility cone eco-system. But here is the real kicker for solo inventors: Craig eliminated the "middleman" tech. No Bluetooth, no lag, no heavy setup. You turn it on, and it works. </p><p><br></p><p>If you are a solo inventor trying to scale a hardware product, you need to watch this. Craig and the team break down the brutal reality of the 3-to-4-year patenting journey, the necessity of building a functional prototype over pretty 3D renderings, and how to position your product so big corporations don't "clean your clock" when they ask to partner.</p><br/><p>Hosted on Ausha.
