Re: Electrical Systems and ideas...

Oz,
$20 is on the low side for most stuff. A nice box could run you $20. If you design a circuit board, proto costs could easily be $60 just for the boards. We thought about StangeSense (current sense for motors) but realized we couldn't make it cheap enough to be a product and it needed some expertises that teams wouldn't all have. But coupled with the Martian's torque tester we were able to get some great info about motors.
