I don't get why it's being made out to be a luxury item instead of building something accessible to most people in wheel chairs that can't afford to pay a premium for design.<p>If you donate to the campaign, only some of the money is going towards solving the problem and the rest is going to craftsmanship.<p>I would rather see them many many rapid prototypes to work out the kinks than reach a local maxima with few superbly crafted designs that are unlikely to change much due to the cost of change in time, materials and manufacturing.
