Expectations
Instructables has announced the theme for July's Build Night: Sugru! Sugru is a "multi-purpose, non-slumping brand of silicone rubber that resembles modeling clay", and can be used for all sorts of projects and repairs, from fixing your phone charge cable to creating robot parts. It's a lot of fun to play and design with, and I think you will all enjoy it!
The structure of this Build Night will be similar to our first, except that the Instructables we'll need to make have to involve the Sugru in some way. We'll need to submit five Instructables from the night. In short, we're expected to:
- Publish five Instructables based on our use of the provided Sugru.
Materials
We have been given 32 5g packets of Sugru in the following colors:
- 8x Red
- 8x Yellow
- 8x Blue
- 4x Black
- 4x White
Please keep these amounts in mind when you're thinking about projects; we want everyone to be able to use some!
