I have no holes to poke in your ideas! Sounds good! Joe has been developing a DIY charger that you might be able to make. I've been using 7 individual chargers, and it has worked really well too. I can't believe you have 36 free batteries! Holy cow you are going to be able to do this thing really cheap!

Please take pictures of your process. This is exciting! Also, some pictures of the mother land!

Cheap DIY adapter plate and coupler isn't the easiest thing in the world. They aren't too expensive though. Ben Nelson went with a very cool and simple coupler that seems super strong. I've been using L-95 lovejoy couplers, which was like $20. It hasn't given me any problems.
