Like the full size AT-AT project, this has all the signs of being C&D'd even with the wired article support.  But on the artistic side, they've got a case if they want to counter the C&D.  (but the court dates would push the project past it's deadline)  It may slide thru as you could see the goal as benefitting Mayhew.

The go-cart sounds great, but launching a kickstarter is a bad idea.

Most projects like this are self funded. If they don't want to go that route, they should at least keep the fundraising on the down-low.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

But that's why this is possibly a good test case, they are not just playing off one genre, they are blending and mixing from a wide variety of things.  They poke/pull at/from a larger group of resources: http://neworleans.about.com/od/festivalsevents/a/Chewbacchus-Sci-Fi-Mardi-Gras.htm

Chewbacchus claims to be a "Carnival Krewe for the most revelrous of Star Wars Freaks, Trekkies, Whovianns, Mega-Geeks, Circuit Benders, Cryptozooligists, UFO Conspiracy Theorists, and all the rest of Super Nerdom."
