As of 12:30 it was not there yet either. I sent an email saying that I believed this to be false advertising. To say there will be a demo, all day long, and then not have a demo is definitely a deceptive way to get people there. I suggest everyone that went and was disappointed, should send an email to let them know. > > On 2/16/2014 3:33 AM, Tom Metro wrote: >> You-Do-It Electronics is having their annual Washington's Birthday sale: >> http://www.youdoitelectronics.com/Promotions/ >> >> It covers several items of interest to hardware hackers, starting with >> 25% off everything in their parts department (if it's small enough to >> fit in a shopping bag), various soldering irons, slightly discounted >> Raspberry Pi Model B ($30), and an OSEPP Uno R3 Plus Arduino board for >> $18. >> >> They now carry the Actobotics line of robot parts (small gears, wheels, >> motors, etc.): >> http://www.robotshop.com/en/actobotics-parts.html >> >> They're also promoting a $600 3D printer kit from Velleman.
