I commend the Lockitron team for pursuing their own corwdfunding effort and then open sourcing the system. You may have just opened up a chink in Kickstarter's armor.

If Kickstarter cracks down on product related projects maybe we will see a new crowdfunding platform emerge that is friendlier for those trying to fund and launch physical products. Kickstarter should be careful here or they may be creating an opportunity for a serious competitor to emerge.
