Shopping List

What do we need to buy? Make sure to mention the point-person for the item and any other useful info like where they can be found

• knobbies for the joysticks for the remote controls (where to buy?) (how many?)

I don't think these are stock items. However they might be a fun project for rep-rap or makerbot or something... Jtfoote 06:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

• solder / tools / self-vulcanizing tape?

• replacement domes (bg micro) http://www.bgmicro.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9150

Blinkyfence LEDs

Maybe we'll get color changing LEDs, maybe solid white... discussion ongoing --Lee 15:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want your own color changing LEDs and batteries for your OWN blinkyfence, put your name and the # here:

• 2032 batteries $0.20 each. Runs an LED for a couple days straight (via digikey)
• Diffuse Color Changing LEDs $0.30 each (the diffuse ones are better, they make a point source of light rather than shine the light on another object (on ebay from "amigoofchina")
• Clear LEDs are also available (on ebay)

Put your name and what you want here:

• SWARM (Lee) 50 diffuse LEDs, 50 batteries
• Jon 15 batteries being returned from loan
• Mark Alexander - 20 diffuse LEDs, 20 batteries
