[MakeLV] Network as exhibit Was: RadioBlock

[David Smith]

I would love to think about how we could set up a meshed network in the Da
Vinci Science Center that would report on something interesting, but would
primarily be intended to introduce our audiences to microcontrollers and
mesh networks.  It could be a people sensor, for example, that lit LED's on
a map whenever someone walked by the sensor at that location, or it could
be an environmental variable, such as temperature, or...  LOW cost would be
key, but the display element would have to be robust, somewhat
self-explanatory, and flexible.
