[chbot] CNC kit?

[Chris Hellyar]

Hi Cass..

I didn't have a specific design in mind, at this moment in time it's 
just a random thought had while driving to work. :-).

I was thinking project for later in the year, but there is a lot of well 
thought out designs on the web that we could draw from to come up with 
something.

Cheers, Me.
