I would really enjoy to test some new arduino stuff. I got some projects in mind, like a midi controler or a 3d printer that would be good to have arduino stuff to do it.

I'd be keenly interested in some low power wireless (ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, DASH7, etc) demo kit. TI has some nice stuff as do some of the other vendors. The "smart lightbulb" that Google is coming out with…

Hi Nicole, Asking for ideas is a very good idea, especially since your road tester base has increased dramatically over the last month. As for what I would like to road test, Test equipment, oscilloscopes…

More O'Scopes. Maybe some of the lower end models that are affordable for hobbyists, but expensive enough that people won't want to pull the trigger on the purchase unless they know they are not getting junk.

I'm happy to test the mechanical stuff, drills, grinders, dremmels, pipe benders etc.

Here's a couple of upcoming boards for Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone:

Astro Designs PiXi-200

ValentFx LOGi-Bone (and rest of LOGi family)

They've been prototyped but IFAIK not yet available for sale. Road Test might be a good way for element14 to help decide if they'd like to distribute these boards.

I'd like to test a really nice bench power supply with mutiple outputs and constant current/voltage capabilities.

Nicole, I am keen to evaluate "internet of things" training/development kits like Cooking Hack's e-Health Sensor Platform, which is based on Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The Libellium Waspmote Starterkit is another example, which can help you get to grips with IOT principles. In the next few years huge growth is expected in this field, so now is the time to get prepared for it.
