I think $70 shipped is a fair price. We would be in for one at that cost.
That said, unless we NEED an IMU to play this years game (unlikely), it's unlikely this board would be put to use on the 2014 robot. It will likely be put off until the off-season for further investigation.

Your idea for a kit is interesting. Here's the challenge I see: surface-mount soldering skills are required.

I realize the surface mount components won't make sense for a lot of teams. My main reason for asking was simply to bring the price down a bit. I believe our team could populate this board in house. I've worked surface mount components by hand numerous times, but would likely temporarily set up a reflow oven/hot plate for this one to make things a little easier on us. I wouldn't recommend redesigning the board this close to the season starting, especially if you plan on trying to sell these in support of the 2014 season.
