Hi friends Browsing around the instructables site I found this kid in Indonesia! His version of wal-e made of junk really impressed me.

Specially because all the electronics are taken from old toys! I wrote him asking if he have heard about EZ-b. He said yes, but unfortunately have no money to buy one. So, I was wandering, with that kind of talent, what this kid would be able to do with an Ez-b in hands.. So, here is my proposition. Why don't we send him a board as a gift?! Mabe we could find 20 members that could contribute with, let's say, 15 dollars, and we could send him that? What you guys think? And, DJ, do you think the shop would be able to manage contributions and send him the kit? Just an idea... Greetings from Brazil!
I'm in for 15 buck, I do like the idea of a scholarship too. Other members are rightv there could be others asking for a gift in the future.
I would say a developer's kit, count me in 15 bucks . EZ robot team, just let me know where to send it thanks
Wow! This kid is talented! I will donate as well. Just say where.
Great! If I count right, there are 13 of us so far! Anybody else?...
well 13x 15 dollar=195 just not enough count chippingcost atleast whit 13 we gonna need 19 dollar each to give him the KIT.
am really suprised how low the respons is for this great humble idea.
I will put in an even $20.
@DJ
Would you give us wholesale price for this endeavor? If so, we should have enough with the 13 of us to do a dev kit.
If not, I'll increase my pledge to $20 whether or not I cann spend EZ-bucks credit.

I will increase to £15 UK sterling (about $23) if it helps.
Great! So DJ, If you give us the free shipment, I think we got enough for the gift. Do you think it is possible? And I have a suggestion for payment. One of you guys at North America could receive the donations at your paypal account, purchase and send it? If the contributions does not complete the needed amount, I'll give the difference. Is that ok? Who could receive the money?
