I second that comment.   It's an impressive project and I hope it succeeds.  

One point regarding cost:  9V batteries aren't cheap.   I just purchased a 
charger and batteries from a company called Tynergy;  these are on Amazon and 
eBay both.  It has good ratings on Amazon.  

If you put together a low-cost kit, including Tynergy batteries might be a good 
idea.   

I have no connection to the company.  

Thanks for your interesting post.
