Yeah... uhm.. a group I am involved in... "The Philadelphia Dumpster Divers" participates.. and has, for at least 4 out of the 5 that the baltimore race has been running... this year... we had a vehicle that I'm surprised wired didn't cover.... we had a VIRTUAL VEHICLE. We even won awards for it.

BTW, the sock puppet is NOT a new rule. Infact we have won for best sock puppet I believe 3 of the years.. (don't quote me on that.)

For more information on the Dumpster Divers, and related project(s) you can check http://www.pleasetake.org/

Infact I'm going down there in May for a party with some of the other kinetic racers and friends.

Ugh. My passwords/logon ids are currently lost in the bitbucket somewhere right now. . but anyways..

Nationally (Internationally, actually), there is the Share the Technology site which has a great database setup for registering materials available to give away or wanted (primarily by non-profit organizations/NGO's.)

Then, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA... there is what is known as, well, actually there are SEVERAL efforts. I represent one called the Please Take M.E. (M.E.=Materials Exchange) which is a co-operative membership unwanted materials exchange run under the wing of a non-profit charitable organization called CARP, the Creative Arts Resource Project which accepts unwanted materials of MANY different kinds.

CARP is also involved in a collective which is known as the Philadelphia Reuse Collaborative which is an organization of organizations that include a number of organizations that recycle/reuse old computing equipment, give it away, etc.

CARP is ramping up activity majorly right now, and is actively seeking any potentially interested parties, especially in getting the word out to science teachers, art teachers, and hobbyists of all the fun geek and nerd kinds.. robotics, electronics, etc etc etc. so please get in contact or pass on the word to anybody in the region you think may be interested. If you dream of being SRL, Negativland, or on Robot Wars, Junkyard Wars, etc. then you should get involved with CARP.

AND if that doesn't sell you enough, then how about the fact that pleasetake.org is currently hosted on slackware.com? It's gotta be cool. :D
