Thanks! yes, I think a WiFi/Bluetooth board that you could plug straight into with a pinned Pico would be a really good idea. It'd be bigger than the shim and would use some of the 0.1" pins, but I doubt people would actually be that worried?
The KickStarter starter kit was good and I'd meant to keep selling them after, but actually the amount of small parts in there made it a real pain to put together - and the size meant it cost quite a bit to post and couldn't be put through a letter box (so more got lost). I think a kit without a relay would help with that at least - I've just put a post up asking for ideas so it'd be great if anyone had any input.
Any other thoughts about Grove? It's definitely a beginner thing, and if I'm honest I was totally underwhelmed when I saw the kit - but I went to a hack day last year and the people there loved it. For that kind of thing it makes a load of sense - you don't want loads of single wires kicking around, and you definitely don't want half your Picos and boards blown up because power wires were plugged in the wrong way around :)
