:Chris. Yes, well as far as your margin is concerned, your blog sort of says that. To be fair to Chris it is excellentreading for anyone interested.
$3 motors for 20 cents has me looking forward to the day that your volumes are high enough to either justify a price decrease or to absorb the cost of soldering a few pin headers onto your boards :)
I've recently been using the seeedstudio stalker 2 (designed and made in China). It seems to me that it provides a lot of value (and some inovation) for $39. Aside from the xbee socket, pin headers, built in rtc, sd card and lipo charger, the stalker is configured to program the arduino wirelessly (without the need for usb or ftdi).
I know that APM has two avr chips (1 big) and the stalker only one low power avr but the stalker does seem much greater value for money?
Anyway, I've asked enough so I'll now go quitely and click a few ads. Maybe that will help you get the price down. No comment I hear you say :)
