I dunno .. does this really need yet another drone body and rig just for the sake of the product? I mean, wouldn't it have been a little more sensible to add "follow-me" features to existing drones - like, this could just be another feature for ArduPilot .. does it really require all the product hype to replace this? I think this is sort of a 'me too' factor with these kickstarter campaigns - whereas in the past a hacker would just add the feature to the existing open code, now its become a reason to start a whole new company and get funding up front, first.
I think, rather than spend any money on these guys, it'd be simpler/less problematic to just add follow-me to Ardupilot. With a little bit of bluetooth/wifi tracking magic, maybe it'd be easy, who knows ..
Your suggestion to add this to an existing unit might well be the idea behind their cheap "3D print" option. They won't suggest that we do this, because they don't want to support the integration, but it looks like they aren't really trying to prevent it.
