Seems cool, but not better than Snap Circuits.

Agreed. Snap circuits is great. The mechanics are easy enough that my three year old can put together simple circuits.

Heh, yep, I'd love to see what the TSA would make of a lump of plasticine with embedded electronics.

I'll watch the video later today, but I wonder if this might not make for some truly _excellent_ summer projects for my 7-year-old daughter, a self-described "geek girl".
