Dictionary to the rescue! All they need to do is to include a piezo pressure sensor in the fist kit. tron (trɒn) n: a public weighing machine [C15: from Old French trone, from Latin trutina, from Greek trutanē balance, set of scales]
Amazon and google are also words to find in a dictionary but that doesn't get in the way of enforcing their trademark
The pricing, BTW, is $20 a month or $18.33 a month if you pay a year in advance.
The only killer value here is the material and there's little of that on display at the moment. What appears to be there is stuff you can find for nothing on the web with a little googling ( http://allaboutcircuits.com/ http://electronicsclub.info/ for example) The parts are worth little to nothing; less than $30. You can get bagged kits from bitsbox.co.uk with everything you need for $24. I can't see the value propo…
I don't think the main value proposition are the parts: if you know where to look, parts are very cheap. It's more about learning in an easy way.
You might say there are already tons of resources on the Net. The problem is that those resources don't come with parts, which might be problematic to choose when you are a beginner, and you might not know where to order.

Google is in the dictionary? Since when? Maybe you are thinking of 'googol'?

I could be wrong though...

Yup, it's in the Oxford English Dictionary. I don't know when, but I'm guessing after September 4, 1998.
It also has a lower-case "google", in a cricket-related meaning, from 1933; so it has that in common with Amazon, whose meaning in the OED is still unrelated to the company.
Of the ball: to have a ‘googly’ break and swerve. Of the bowler: to bowl a googly or googlies; also (trans.), to give a googly break to (a ball).
Cool concept! A couple things: 1) Using 'Tron' could be a bit problematic if Disney's lawyers get bored. 2) You might want to drop the annual price a bit, and maybe work on your shipping costs.
