LEGO Land ... We have a problem! Mindstorms is a great
constructionplatform. But it's wicked expensive and oldie but goodie parts are no longer available.
Arduino Community ... You have captured the inventor's spirit but your platform is tricky to program and connect. 1. Expensive. 2. Closed platforms. 3. Discontinued parts.

Problem
www.build-it-yourself.com
Develop a basic construction system that:1. costs less than $100. 2. can be used with many construction systems
and software applications. 3. enables playful BIY-style projects. 4. has a reliable supply channel.
