I noticed you've added a $400000 goal, but that's unreacheable. If you sell
all the kit pledges left you'll get an extra $97709, for a total of $230530
Of course there are the add ons, shipping and the cheaper rewards, but
there's no way those will amount to 170 grand.
You should really consider adjusting that goal.
I for one would love BT support, specially if it's easy to control with a
smartphone.
