It has been tried in commercial products, but it's harder than it looks. Pogo pin type contacts don't have a lot of current capacity and there are some fairly serious issues with surface contamination and corrosion. The layout is easy, the electronics are easy, but the metallurgy of the contacts is an unsolved problem.
