I’m still trying to figure all that out. If I make 20+ at a time it wouldn't be
horrible but it's still a little time consuming. Here’s a short list of
components
1 IR receiver base <not listed on bricklink yet so ???????????????????
2 28guage 4 strand wires. $ .05 per in.
1 diode bridge $1.50
1 3mm 1.5v LED White LED's are expensive $.10-5.00
1 Lego wire price varies on length $2-10.00
1 4x10 brick price varies on color $,25-2.00
1 4x10 plate " " $.10-1.00
2 1x1 black tiles $.15
Time I.E. labor 3-4hrs <--will hopefully get quicker $??????
That was the short list but as you can see there are a lot of variables. i may
end up making an order form or something if I go ahead with this. I am however
exploring another option as well.
