Congrats to the EasyDrone team, who hit their $20,000 goal on Kickstarter. Now they've offered a stretch goal of upgrading everyone from APM to a Pixhawk autopilot if they hit $30,000 in the next 24 days. I think they can do it!

From the project's Kickstarter page:

I'm thrilled to announce that we have reached our campaign goal over the weekend. This is awesome especially because we have another 24 days to go!

Here is the stretch goal - Pixhawk for everyone

At the next milestone at $30,000 we are going to give everyone our latest and best autopilot regardless of the ready-to-fly reward level. Here is what that means: 

• FUTURE PROOF DRONE - compatible with new advanced software that will become available in the near future. Just upload update and use. 
• MORE SOPHISTICATED FLYING MODES - including flying in groups and communicating with other drones and devices. 
• ADD SENSORS FOR DISTANCE AND SPEED MEASUREMENT - you will be able to add external sensors for more precise flying. 
• 4X THE PROCESSING SPEED - of the autopilot, means faster response and more stability.
