You can't easily splice balanced signal lines, so it's going to end up more complicated than just a routing issue. But I like the concept. I understand that the pads are indexed with magnet locks? What happens if a user crams a component in incorrect orientation anyway? |

Good point. I stand corrected.
> orientation
Two features ensure (and encourage) the block placement at the correct orientation.
- layout of the 4 magnets' polarities at each position (and complementary layout on each Block).
- plastic protrusions within the casing (with mating features on each Block).
Just an interesting note: The latter also serve to provide a bi-axial constraint on a Block after attachment, to prevent easy detachment. Together with the (neodymium) magnets, they create a very strong hold, important for Blocks like the Soil moisture sensor demo'ed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwnpbNNyzdQ&list=UU49EYw900L...
