What is the worst that could happen? a problem arises and you teach yourself and the rest of us how to solve it.

Go for it
I completely disagree.

So far this thread has been people with more experience giving their views on the issue. This includes difficulties that might arise and considerations that should be taken. All this should be done to determine if the product is worth the effort. Any business you work in you will see this happen not to necessarily discourage the individual from what they are trying to do but make sure they consider everything and go in well informed. This is why we have peer reviews and and concept reviews early in the design process where trade studies and feasabilty are discussed. In the end you make an informed decision. That is where we are leading this.
