Well if $9 is as expensive as they get, Then sign me up. That would put my
grand total of producing a photovore to $24. Not bad. And look at those Beam
Ants, i would pay $100 for one of those, maybe even more...but i do know that
not everyone is in the financial situation as I am, so maybe we shouldnt be
modeling our stuff after a man that has unlimited resources?? We are so far
behind what he is working on, so we might just try to break off. Why even do
PCBs. Why not have custom chips? Everything already in it, all that sticks
out are the motor outputs? To expensive? well maybe not a specialized chip
but somewhere along those lines. Is this defeating the purpous of the E in
BEAM? any thoughts?
