Plastic: York Precision Plastics NZ has agreed to donate us with 250 sheets of clear PVC sheets with dimensions of 1400x1000mm, which will be picked up tomorrow. These will need to be cut to 80mm x 80mm, so if everybody could actively help in locating a cutting company/service that would be great.
I do know a place who has said they can do it, but they are in Drury (VERY far away), so thats probably just a back up plan.
Also, we will have to punch holes in each of the (21000+?) sheets manually, so everybody find those hole punchers!!
Cable ties: Ecco Pacific has kindly offered to sponsor us with cable ties, but right at this moment I have no idea how many we will get. The guy I talked to basically said they'll give us as many as they can, so at the moment I have bought 10,000 cable ties off trademe as a starting pack :D These should be here by Wednesday.
Super Cheap Auto has also offered us packs of 100 cable ties at $2 incl. GST each, which is our back up if Ecco Pacific can't supply as many as we need.
I also have an offer on TradeMe for $1.82 incl. GST per bag of 100, for 100 bags, plus $7 for shipping. (Total $189)
We are still sourcing net, so keep an eye out!
Also we have almost decided the best way to show our groups appreciation is to get printed t-shirts with our sponsors logos and stuff on the back, and that will also be a sort of team uniform.
We are making good progress guys!!
