Re: Pre-manufactured control box for FIRST
This is a good idea. I suggest you do some market reasearch and go for it.

No, you don't need to have 1000 on the shelf, pre-made. You just need to have enough in inventory AND have your manufacturing timeline swift enough to be able to ship product out within 5 days of delivery to any FIRST team.

Make the design simple and with good quality, and people will find you and buy your control board. Joe Johnson has suggested this as a good product for years.
