Honor System Backup, the Next Niche Market

A really interesting rule found by pascal on the MIT Fab Lab web site:

Remember – it is anticipated that you may break something along the way, but the only bad thing you can do is break something and not tell anybody. As a backup for the honor system, there are cameras alongside each machine that broadcast what’s happening with it in real time, and allows tracking of who was there at what time.

Backups for honor systems might very well be a niche market!
