[Gumstix-users] Robostix suggestion

[Sean L. <se...@cs...>]

It's great to see the Robostix clocking in at $50, which will make it 
quite competitive.  However the robostix presently doesn't have pins in 
its headers.  This means that to use the board for many robotics tasks 
requires soldering in 40 (!) pins.  For many hobbyists (I imagine a 
significant market) this can be a prohibitively difficult thing to do.

How difficult would it be to offer a version of the board with pins 
attached?  How much would it add to manufacturing cost?
