I wonder if Tesla invented a robot to tie thousands of small cells together witht their BMS modules. It seems like the only way to go production. The A123 packs built by the Killicycle team use a number of production tricks, but the process is not fully automated and packs are laborious to build. That's quite an achievement of yours.
The solution seems obvious now, but I wonder how I would have felt in 2002. If Tesla tried to patent this system you could easily claim prior art.
