It's great that you're giving crowdfunding another shot, but clear warning, you already failed your previous campaign on Kickstarter, and I don't expect this one to succeed, especially for the given reasons
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robot-pi/robot-pi

1. Your campaign does not inspire confidence:
The campaign video is just your "Robot Friends" animation, already animated.
Usually the video should explain what the project is all about, but here, It's unclear what you're actually promoting.
Also, the title and part of the video still mention Kickstarter, despite the change in platform.

The description doesn't help either. You explained on Kickstarter that the original "Robot Friends" cartoon was a "pancake" to the current project, which seems to imply a sequel, remake, or reboot to your original cartoon, but here on Indiegogo, it's even less descript.

Heck, this post here doesn't inspire confidence, it's just as poorly written and immature and full of grammatical erors.

It doesn't feel like you're taking this crowdfunding thing seriously, and that's a problem, since most people don't want to back a project that's unclear and lacks direction.

2. You're not raising £20,000.
This is four times the £5,000 you set on Kickstarter, and that only raised £278. Realistically, how do you expect to raise 70 times as much money on a campaign that's even less descriptive and unprofessional than the old one?
Not to mention, there are zero perks here, whereas you had perks on the Kickstarter. This will also limit backers.

3. You don't have the audience to raise that kind of cash
If everyone donated £10, which was the minimum for early access on Kickstarter, you'd need 2,000 backers to get fully funded.
And since you only have 1k followers on NG, and significantly less on other platforms, you can do the math.

My estimation: At most, I don't see you raising over £200 with this current approach, if not, nothing. Feel free to prove me wrong.

That beind said: you did set flexible funding, so whatever pennies you get out of this, fail or not, you still get to keep. But that's pretty much the only silver lining here.
