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.  :)

As someone who is currently trying to bring a custom MindStorms sensor to

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.
