Every industrial engineer and electrical engineer I know said that it was a doomed project, and when I repeated their arguments to me (huge inefficiency in battery life, very heavy, poor performance) nobody wanted to listen. (And I was heavily downvoted).
my friends ended up being right, those issues could never be worked out because it’s a fundamental problem. Integrated circuits are more efficient than others and having high performance data and power contacts is wasteful at best, and heavy at worst.
It’s the same as building a computer on a breadboard vs having everything built in like a raspberry pi.
