Cobalt Flux Dance Pads

In designing our gamelab, we had talked about getting a dance controller so we could investigate the Dance Dance Revolution genre of games. (Because we do a lot of content on nutrition and health.) Of course, the crappy $9 plastic mats wouldn't last long against a barrage of children's feet, so instead, we might consider picking up a dance platform from Cobalt Flux. These babies are $300 each, made out of metal and polycarbonate plastic, able to withstand up to 600 lbs, and come with a six month guarantee. According to the Dance Mat FAQ, this is the "best available pad yet".
