you're absolutely right. Even though this idea's been out there he's shown a rare ability to be a critical thinker and problem solver, something that is lacking in most adults. I'm sure kickstarter thought about this and did the research but what they did was turn this relatively expensive idea into huge PR move. Cheap invention plus cute little kid with corresponding e-mails with childish font equals win-win.
Ya - but they weren't 'invented' by an 11 year old with a crazy younger sister and a belief in his ability to conquer the world that only a preteen can have ...
The obvious flaw; I have 1 pencil (his ruler pencil) and I want to measure something. I need to mark the location (with precision) but... pencils don't bend? The idea is theoretically great but I can't see it being practical. It's cute though, good luck to him :-)
