As I've been working on this I've been kicking around the idea of having a small run of these produced. The design is quite practical for this, but the economics are questionable. I feel like at best I'd make my contracting rate, and at worst lose my capital. But it would be fun. Any feedback in that regard?
- josh33 17y agoI'll buy one.
- replicatorblog 17y agoWhat are the cost of goods on components/labor? It seems like it would be worthwhile to manufacture a small run, if you think you can make your contracting rate. There seems to be bit of a move towards proprietary hardware (Boxee, Smith & Tinker, FitBit) in the star tup world so bringing a physical/electronic product to market is a neat/valuable experience. Worst case you could just make it a "kit" and sell through AdaFruit or Sparkfun, in that case your cost will just be parts, a cardboard box and some miscellaneous packing materials.
- acgourley 17y agoProbably 20-30 in parts + 30 dollars for the controller + labor. Yes I would have to sell the xbox control with some minor labor done on it.
- bioweek 17y agohow would you do it? Sell premodified xbox controllers? One way to get started might be to sell a kit? Even throw in the xbox controller.
