Free: Solar powered mini robot kit - used (Kings Heath B14) Gifted This kit has been used to make one solar powered mini robot but should be reusable to make up to 14. But - I don't know whether the solar panel or motor are faulty or whether it just has a loose connection - but it doesn't work with any amount of light. So this is offered only to someone who wants to have a play around and see what you can do - and I really do hope you can get it working - but please don't just give it to a 10-year-old and hope it works - they will just get frustrated. If you're interested please reassure me that you have read and understand this. Any replies just saying 'is this available?' will be ignored I'm afraid.

Free: 17" Monitor - please read details before requesting (Kings Heath B14) Gifted This monitor is a EIZO FlexScan L557 and is in working condition - but it is nearly 20 years old. This means that (although it works) it a) is not a super-sharp image by today's standards b) has a VGA connection to a computer. I'm happy to provide it with a VGA to USB3.0 adaptor. The adaptor itself needs a driver (which is on it but needs to be installed on the computer). Just please don't ask for this assuming it's shiny and new and can be plugged into anything! Equally if you have an older computer, this will probably be perfect :) If you are interested please let me know your name and when you'd like to collect, and also confirm that you know it's quite old - I won't respond to any emails that just say 'is this still available?'! We're at the Moseley end of Kings Heath, off Valentine Road. Thank you.
