[757labs] Fwd: Hampton Roads electronics flea market?

[Trevor Lewis]

Igus stuff is really nice. I placed an order for about $25 worth of
bearing bushings, and they sent a fantastic goodie box of samples a
few days after my order arrived. They do an outstanding job of low
friction components.

I'm thinking once I finish my MendelMax I'll make a smaller
lightweight version using Igus stuff.

If anyone wants to poke at the samples, or look through the catalogs I
can bring them by the lab some night for show'n'tell. :)
