Because you will restart work, Can you start make a version for ASIC Huh I think because KANGAROO need very many power, ASIC version is more perspective and adequate task for solving KANGAROO.

This is impossible. Kangaroo works with elliptic curve operations (ECDSA) and no need to hash anything.
ASIC was designed for hash calculations. ASIC works only with algorithms designed by the producer: SHA-256, Scrypt, Cryptonight, Ethash, Blake, X11. Different models have different set of algorithms.

For Kangaroo algorithm only the elliptic curve operations are required (i.e. transformation of the private key to the public key, operations with the points such as additions, subtractions and multiplications). ASICS does not support it.
