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 sent an email to [email protected] and copied Aisliin since I have her direct email address and this fits within the "marketing department" kind of activities.
Several of you have been quite generous. We are half-way to a developer kit already!

If I hadn't just blown pretty much every spare penny I have I'd chip in. If donating store credit becomes possible though I'd be open to throw $30 of store credit in the mix.
I'll let you know what EZ-Robots says about store credit. I also suggested that if they want to make this a regular thing, they could add a SKU to the store for donations to a "scholarship fund".
