to inform you that Lamba Labs is still having build nights on Wednesdays (mostly we start around 7:30pm - 8pm and stick around till 10:30pm - 11pm) and encourage you to drop by - PS: we're currently building the OpenRov that was generously donated by Bilal Ghalib (another awesome geek)
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
By the time I found out about Lamba Labs they were already shutting down (somewhat) and I never had the opportunity to visit, but now....I'm excited again YAY!
Can't wait to visit :)

to take requests on hardware you can't afford: part of why I joined is that I remember how difficult it was for me to have a tech related hobby especially that not everything is affordable. so as part of my teaching initiative to help the tech community grow and diversify (yes ladies, if I can do it so can you), I'm supplying hardware tools that you can't afford for some (good) reason: be it a university project or just curiosity whims, I'm willing to hear those requests. you never know, your request my appeal to my curious side and next thing you know we're building something beautiful
*Hats off*
Highly respect your motivation and goal.
Something nice to have would be a modest 3D printer for custom mini bits and bots (better yet, why not build it ourselves?).

3) to have a poll on interest in training workshops for biomedical engineers: before I propose this to the organizational committee, I want to do a small poll on who's interested in training workshops concerning biomedical engineering. it's mainly targeted to current students and fresh grads, but I'm also thinking of doing workshops on how to take your blood pressure (and maybe even fix the manual aneroid sphygmomanometer?) and oxygen saturation - kind of a layman's guide to the world of healthcare products for home. of course when I say workshops I mean genuine workshops: working with the actual hardware alongside hard copies or soft copies of quick reference guides
Personally I am interested in biology and it would be interesting to see it from a different perspective.
As a hardware guy, its extremely interesting to see how medical devices work in principle (and how to hack an alternative :p)
So count me in!
If you're ever in need of a volunteer or anyone to help with meeting next day's deadline(we've all been there) I would be happy to help :)
Best of Luck!
