Hi David,
Thanks for both the kind thoughts and the offer to get involved.
Great minds think alike! We've been talking about doing a very similar thing for the Jamboree... hosting a "design contest" to generate some new ideas for things that ShopBotters could make and give away to good causes. Maybe not just toys but also things like special furniture or gadgets for kids with dis-abilities, or others with special needs. In the best of all worlds we'll have people submit a cut file, a snapshot of what the piece looks like when done, and instructions for cutting it.. then we'll be able to start a "library" of sorts which could be accessible to ALL Shopbotters ( maybe on the FTP site..?)
I know this is pretty vague at the moment, but is this something that ShopBotters would be interested in getting involved in? Not only in designing and cutting projects but also in helping Bill P. and I get it organized for the Jamboree.
Any takers?
Bill
