I've enjoyed many thoughtful responses to the "Ask YC" threads, so I figured I'd ask about hardware.

As a hardware hacker focused on powered aerodynamics, I've been wondering about which changes to the much-cloned YC model would be required to generate similar likelihood of success for a hardware-based startup. For software-based web applications, 3 months of on-site build, test, improve, repeat building up to demo day seems to work very well, but what changes would you make for a hardware-based startup?
