Dollar Store McGuyver Conference

Dollar Store McGuyver Conference (D.S.M.C)

After the E.P.I.C. conference at LVL1, the participants were rounded up for another event on April 12, 2013. This event shall hence forth be known as the Dollar Store McGuyver Conference (D.S.M.C.). The conference was design to test the ingenuity of its participants when constrained by costs and materials. The results are presented here as a warning to those who wish to follow in their footsteps.

Rules

The conference's goal was to see what the LVL1 members and visitors could build if trapped in a dollar store. Several members, independently visited local dollar stores and acquired items at random. The items were then stored away from view until the start of the conference.

• Pedometers
