Not the first. There was a Kickstarter project several years ago. Might not be as visual appealing, but it exists and it is open source: http://www.openrov.com/

It has a strong community and had lots of improvements over the years as well.

In that time I was actively supporting several Kickstarter projects (30-40 ?). That is where I learned to never pre-order again ;-) Just wait until its finished. If by then its still a good product (most are not) they take your order then for sure as well.

Seriously? They expect pre-orders based on a test video in an aquarium tank? I love the idea but this is very early. I'm excited to see where it goes.

edit: I see the pre-order link just takes you to a 'sign up for updates' form.
