I’m sure it could be done without a chassis.
If each component used say a USB connection, they could be slotted together, and if needed each module could have screws on one end, and screw holes on the other. I think it would be an interesting concept, if done well.
This would also mean we could get a battery that fits the diameter of the saber, and could be larger. We could even possibly layer two batteries together, increasing the power.

More power. Insert Tim the tool man Taylor grunts here. Ugh ugh ugh. Lol.

Thanks Greywalker83 and Infinit01, points incoming.  And here’s hoping we get some modular electronics in the near future.
I’d love to get every saber that US offers and only get maybe five or six electronics modules, that could be swapped between the sabers.

You're welcome and have one back!

A chassis I think would work better then just a tiny screw at each connection.

Either way cool idea.

I think I should explain my idea a little bit more.
First, I would never even consider a tiny screw, I was thinking about a locking twist connection at each junction point.  Think of the way a medicine bottle locks, the cap twists on and snaps into place.  This is my idea for the connections.
As for the modules themselves, I’m thinking of cylinders that contain the electronics, most of which would have some sort of material on the inside to absorb some of the impact force from the blades hitting each other.  The batteries could then ditch the standard design and instead be more like a modern cell phone battery, that is designed to fill a space, that space being a two or three inch tall battery cylinder.  The speaker could then be placed at the end, with its own enclosure, and the possibility of a small LED module at the end for some interesting effects from the pommel.
The switch module would have to have a track in the side of it for the switch, this is the only module I think would need to be installed from the factory.  That is unless there could be a simple way to install a switch without any wiring needed.
As for the LED module, it would snap into place at the tow of the saber, and have some sort of damping material around the LED to keep it from bouncing around too much.  This would also allow us to replace an LED in seconds instead of minutes or weeks.  Simply snap the LED out, and snap in a new one.  This way we could have multiple different colored LEDs for our sabers.  Either that of a HEX, QUAD, or TRI LED module.  HEX has red, green, blue, amber, white, and UV in one diode, so there could potentially be three or four diodes in each module making the blade even brighter.
If you have any questions about HEX LED, simply go to YouTube and search the phrase.
Anyway, I hope I explained my idea a little more clearly.  If you have any questions about my idea, feel free to ask.
And as always, may the force be with you.

Yeah but that requires me to install. It would just be a cool option to have available. Especially if it’s set up on a board like the tri cree so you could have say a normal led and color but be able to switch it over to uv

It's been a while since my last rant...

1 - Day Blades. Mid Grade. Red, Green, Blue, AND Yellow. PLEASE
2 - Parabolic Blade tips! The parabolic tips are by far the most realistic looking.
3 - Updated electronics. I want sweet smooth swing. Does not mean that you gotta start doing pixel blades which is most common with the current boards with smooth swing. The same in hilt LED goodness we have - just BETTER sound on the Obsidian and Diamond boards. 


BTW, if anybody is interested, just posted my latest install/customization on a Shock here:

What are Parabolic tips?  It may be self explanatory but could you inform me?

Parabolic tips are a cross between the circular tips and pointed tips.   They are curved based on a parabolic arc, so they're longer and somewhat pointed but they are rounded off so there's no actual point.  Which is important for things like Cons and public events, where the pointed tips are sometimes disallowed under strict no-weapons rules.

Plus they look pretty amazing.  They're also not as vulnerable to being knocked off, one big issue with pointed tips.

Great description! I just think they look great. LOL
