Sounds awesome.

As well as the ink, I can throw in some (maybe 3) L289N stepper/DC motor controllers and some spare Digisparks. We just need some motors. Might leave the robot arm / BBB work till Thurs as we have enough L289N's and BBB i/o's to control two robot arms if anyone has finished building another one.

Also, if nothing else I'd quite fancy making an 'incredible machine' thing [1] for shits and giggles. So bring marbles!

Cheers,
Ed
