   5 <p>A few days ago, I was introduces to some students in the robot
   6 student assosiation <a href="http://www.robotica.no/">Robotica
   7 Osloensis</a> at the University of Oslo where I work, who planned to
   8 get their own 3D printer.  They wanted to learn from me based on my
   9 work in the area.  After having a short lunch meeting with them, I
  10 offered them to borrow my reprap kit, as I never had time to complete
  11 the build and this seem unlike to change any time soon.  I look
  12 forward to see how this goes.  This monday their volunteer driver
  13 picked up my kit and drove it to their lab, and tomorrow I am told the
  14 last exam is over so they can start work on getting the 3D printer
  15 operational.</p>

  17 <p>The robotic group have already build several robots on their own,
  18 and seem capable of getting the reprap operational.  I really look
  19 forward to being able to print all the cool 3D designs published on
  20 <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/">Thingiverse</a>.  I even got
  21 some 3D scans I got made during Dagen@IFI when one of the groups at
  22 the computer science department at the university demonstrated their
  23 very cool 3D scanner.</p>
