Awesome, I want to see more of things like this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/printrbot/printrbot-your-first-3d-printer . The UK should have plenty of mad inventors hacking away in their sheds for this to work here.

The UK is famous for it's ingenuity so perhaps the availability of crowd sourced funding will spark off a new era of innovation in this country.

Looking forward to this. Hoping this will make some of the robots and 3d printers more affordable in the UK!

Pretty sure people in the UK have already been putting up kickstarter projects, although payment had to be made in dollars.

Wasn't a problem for me in the UK to contribute to the Carmgeddon project which is run in the UK.

Good to know Kickstarter is working on expanding beyond the US. Hopefully more countries will follow after the UK is introduced.

Backing a project from anywhere in the world is not a problem. To create a project though you have to have someone in the US. This is typically not a problem for an established company (and some indie teams with members all over) but for individuals and small teams it's a serious hurdle.
