I was about to launch my project on Kickstarter, when all of a sudden, last night, TWO competing projects showed up.
My project is the HOVERSTORM HOVER BOARD. It's a tilt-rotor quad copter drone with heavy lift capabilities. It's also going to be an Open Source project.
I am still in the process of editing my campaign, and last night two competing projects showed up.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ai ... ports-dronBOTH of these projects attracted huge funding upon their introduction. My project rewards are much less expensive then the ones offered by these. Almost 50% less expensive.
I have two schools of thought, one is to launch my product at the same time as the others and compete directly with them. The other is to wait.
Does anyone have any ideas ? I know this happened when 3D printers started appearing on Kickstarter.
