As someone who is currently trying to bring a custom MindStorms sensor to
market, I understand how you feel. I have mangled my share of LEGO with the
old Dremel, only to hear that heart-wrenching crunch as I break a delicate
reed switch with too much pressure. I can assure you that it does get
easier with repetition.

I hope you'll at least consider putting together a kit with "some assembly
required" if you decide not to mangle your own bricks for a living.
