Do you mean not to go through Aramex (USA virtual mailbox) (which will definitely result in VAT and Customs etc...), but through dx.com's shipping process directly to Lebanon which will eventually be delivered to us by LibanPost without any customs/VAT ?
@rwo2008; yeah don't worry, you won't pay any customs/VAT. They will ship it with HongKong Post.
4 days later
This is a reminder to all enrolled. The workshop begins this saturday at 5:00PM

If you changed your mind, please notify me to remove you from the list.
is there a place to park the car?
hi everyone,
i want to know if someone got the kit, and how much did it cost?
does it require vat or custom clearance because i want to use expedit shipping to get it fast cause i found out late about this workshop.
Well normally on Saturdays the streets around us are empty, there is a high chance you will find a spot. You people should carpool as well!

I'm willing to pick 3 people up if on my route. I live in Mansourieh, so if anyone is on my way, just notify me.
I hope you enjoyed it :)

Pictures - Video

A lovely gathering of geeks at InnovoLB occured on Saturday 19/1/2013

Highlights:

- Everyone introduced himself.
- We discussed what everyone would like to get out of this workshop.
- We went over one of the robots J4D has and started 'guessing' what components are being used.
- After each component was jotted on the board, J4D went over the list and briefly described what each component does.
- We took the list of parts within the Kit mentioned in the topic and went over every component and what it does.

All in all, it was an amazing gathering with amazing people. Everyone seemed excited to pursue this workshop!

Here's the list of attendees with a brief that describes each one of them! (humorous, as in a joke)

J4D - The Teacher, he even started quizzing Leonedes from the first session!
m0ei - The Mac Dude standing next to the wall minding his own business.
yasamoka - Jerk brought an amazing mechanical keyboard and showed it off.
xterm - No comment.
rtwo2008 - Did you guys know that RT are his initials, WO is Warhammer Online, and 2008 was, well I don't remember.
Leonedes - Remember that skinny guy from Road Trip? Well he's a darker version of him.
rtp - From the moment J4D opened the door, to the moment he left, that guy had a smile on his face. We think he was high.
achalhoub - I'm calling him the 'Ideas' guy. He brought up many cool ideas we could implement.
data33 - Our resident financial expert! Got a financial problem? Well no problem! He will solve it!
scatman - I'm calling him the schemer. He sits quietly, thinking, analyzing, scheming!
Sylvio - A friend of Leonedes, little calm but doesnt hold a candle to scatman.
Lovely session, see you all next week.

2008 was the year Warhammer Online was released and I started setting people on fire with my Bright Wizard.
I'm glad things are working out so well and that attendance is pretty high. Thank you J4D for the initiative and xterm for the reporting. I would love to pass by a couple of times to document the event. Keep it up!
Nice recap xterm! Eagerly waiting for our next meeting!
By the way, where are the photos?
