=== Distributed prototyping philosophy ===
The idea here is to have people in different locations collaboratively develop hardware approaching the speed of software.  The things which enable this are:  

* everyone has a minimal, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E2dhqLpAWhcRfN7Ml61jg7elpqfRhyic0ex8C5cSnjs/edit?usp=sharing common set of materials]
* all developers can access a 3D printer
* the parts are designed with the constraints that you can make them work with the common materials
* All developers working on this get a complete, working thing when they're done  

I put a bit of thought into a bill of materials, trying to keep it as cheap and as complete as possible.  If you're not comfy improvising with hardware, just buy the stuff and it'll work for you.  If you are comfy improvising with hardware, pick and choose as you see fit.  Take a look at the spreadsheet below and let me know what you think.  This is still a rough revision, but I think it's within ~80%
