Brief
The goal of this page is to layout some equipment that would be useful for the SDC, in WARG’s opinion, though it too expensive for a single team to purchase or acquire by sponsorship. This page is targeting the Fall 2023 Term though may be applicable in the future. Each line item should contain use cases that could be practical to SDC teams.
