>> Wouter, another idea is to have the students make an iDropper type
>> device. See this PDF file:

Lovely idea. Two ideas:

- matchie: battery+pic+LED. LED lights up when turned on by a match, 
flashlight, or another matchie. Burns for a few minutes, flashes a few 
times, then dies out. The sport is to keep it on, quickly find someone 
to re-light it for you.

- soundie: battery+PIC+pushbutton+LED+LSP. when pressed, plays a melody. 
Any soundie that is 'watching' the LED of a playing soundie copies the 
meoldy. Add a PC tool (LED+R on serial port) to upload new melodies.

Now find a student who is good enough to make one of both :)
