It's primarily a hobby project.  Some friends of mine want to run a
tournament with eight pads.  High-quality commercial pads cost $200-500
   each plus ~$40/pad shipping and they can't afford $2000-5000 on what
would just be a for-fun event.

I was a bit imprecise when I mentioned $50; the target budget per pad is
$100.  I've set aside $50 each for electronics/sensors and $50 each for
metal/acrylic/miscellany.  As students, we have a great deal more time
than money so we can afford to invest lots of time in this :).
