[Noisebridge-discuss] New donations

[Jared Dunne]

Awesome donations!  Thank You, Oh, Glorious Benefactors.

I was thinking about a project that needed some random motors to
recycle, so I'll have to see if there is anything I can use.

How cool would it be to hack up an RC car with some sensors and an
arduino so that it can drive its self around?  If anyone gets inspired
to turn the RC car into a robot, I wanna help. ;)

They seemed pretty impressed with the MakerBot, the electron microscope and the robotic wheelchair. (Does the SEM work? If not, these kind folks know someone who might be able to help us fix it.)
