In an effort to not take 2+ years to get pictures from my camera to my
website, here's a brief photo update on the project:
http://www.ben.com/LEGO/rcx/picoscout/
Having mangled, er, adapted only my second 2x8 electrical plate to make it 4
individual 2x2 pads, I'm starting to think that the fabrication aspect of
making these bricks would drive me to drink. So proposing to sell them
might have been premature. :)

It looks very interesting!
Maybe you could sell just the 'difficult' parts like the controller and the
interface and leave the rest up to the individual buyers.

As someone who is currently trying to bring a custom MindStorms sensor to
market, I understand how you feel. I have mangled my share of LEGO with the
old Dremel, only to hear that heart-wrenching crunch as I break a delicate
reed switch with too much pressure. I can assure you that it does get
easier with repetition.
I hope you'll at least consider putting together a kit with "some assembly
required" if you decide not to mangle your own bricks for a living.

I finally got a web page for my Micro-Brick.
http://perso.freelug.org/legway/Robots/MicroBrick.html
When I say "mine"... I didn't make it, but it's one of the last things I got
from Hi-Technic, before they stopped making stuff.
Check it out, and tell me what you think.
