View source for Adafruit Group Buy

From time to time, Hacksburg organizes group buys from [http://adafruit.com/ Adafruit Industries]. The idea is that you pick out what you want and we put it on the list to order. Payment is due when the order is placed.

== Details ==

Adafruit has a makerspace discount that Hacksburg has qualified for. If Hacksburg places an order of $250 or more (before shipping), we can get a discount on select goods. The discount varies by item, but typically is 20% of retail price. Not everything gets a discount -- most test equipment, 3D printers and supplies, and dev boards don't, for instance. But many components, Arduino shields, displays, sensors, and accessories do get the discount.

== The List ==
In order to save a bunch of headache, the list will be on Google Drive. Here's how you can place items to order:

# Go [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17bZ_uS-B_GnTc1_WWX_vOpPexv-31g_HhvgVSStQglU/edit?usp=sharing here] to access the Google spreadsheet for the items.
# Make a duplicate of the "Template" worksheet, and rename it to your name.
# Check out the Adafruit website to see what you want.
# For each item you want, enter it in the spreadsheet. '''Please only fill out the Item Number, Description, and Quantity fields; leave the other fields as-is.'''
# '''The spreadsheet will be locked at 7:30 PM EDT on March 28; no further buyers will be taken at that time, unless we are under the $250 limit.'''
