Roadmap:
- Add more consoles with time.
- Maybe get a Nintendo wii in?
- Xbox 360 (there is one in the space but it has a red ring when it is plugged in- guess that is only because it has no video cable, any help with a cable from anyone?)
- Get a bigger component Video Splitter (e.g. 5 to 1) to help avoid unplugging. Note: we currently have a 3 to 1 3 inputs:(Vid=Yellow, Left=White, Right=Red), slide switch->(input1, input2, input3) and one output (Vid=Yellow, Left=White, Right=Red)
- Encapsulate / protect the consoles a bit better to protect them from beer spillage and generally being knocked.
