AVR SPI, USB JTAG cable, USB serial cable, custom AVR dev kit, i3 t-shirt (in a tiny plastic bag), leatherman (maybe i3 branded), utili-usb key (portable open source software, diagnostic software, live distro image, multi-boot linux installs), weekly electronics course kit, vegan snacks, carnivore snacks, omnivore snacks, ramen, power bar, lockpick kit, lock bumping kit, the 5-in-1 network admin's cable, geeky bits from thinkgeek
Decoration
- How do make it look shiny and interesting?
Security
- Webcam linked to tilt/ shake sensor. Take picture of someone shaking the machine, post it online for ridicule
Surprises/ challenges and Easter Eggs
- Prizes for buying so much from the vending machine should be rewarded - Monthly challenges
