This looks way too good to be true. It's a pretty awesome concept, though kinda like lego mindstorms but more focused on things that you interact with. Hopeful

Hopefully there's people that come along and create kits with more durable components than the cardboard that this page and the ad show.
- ghostbrainalpha 9y agoI'm super excited for where this is going, but $80.00 for a controller made out of cardboard that will break the first time a dog jumps on it or a child falls over..... Definitely not too good to be true territory.
- neuland 9y agoI did not notice the price. Wow, totally agree about $80 being way too much. Plastic or some other more durable material would be a big improvement to justify the cost. Edit: It looks like they're providing templates to make these yourself too. [0] So, the $70/$80 can be considered more cardboard + software to interact with it. From that perspective, I don't think this is too bad of a deal. For something innovative like this, I personally think it's work the price of a game ($60) and then the other $20 is for cardboard, but you can just make more if it breaks.
