[Imc-makerspace] Makerspace Table at IMC Open House this Saturday

[Jonathan Manton]

The blinky thing is a bit too elaborate to give away, as it takes a  
lot of time to make the circuit boards and to solder them.  1/2 hour  
of labor for each piece is probably not something you want to do for  
something that is given away.  The materials is like $1.00 (not  
counting the battery) - it is the labor that would kill you.

Now, if you wanted to do kits, we might be able to do that.  But 2  
days notice is a bit tight to get the stuff sourced and make up the  
circuit boards.  I think I have enough supplies for 12 or so of them,  
but only 6 or so circuit boards made.
