Parts & Supplies For Members

Making. Building. Experimenting. Creating. Exploring.

These activities all require parts & supplies. These parts & supplies are often expensive and this cost can hinder opportunities to participate. So, as space and opportunity allows, Robot Garden stockpiles donated items for member use. Members are free to take these items and use them for their own maker projects on the premise that they will document the completed project and provide pictures & a narrative for the project. We will then add the pictures and stories to our member's project boards.

The list below might or might not be up to date. The items below are available to Robot Garden members. Some of these items are available at The Switch, Robot Garden's primary location. Other items are located at the Livermore Airport, our location in Dublin, or at member's homes.
