**Accessing DINGO/Pupper/Matos**
--------------------------------

At the moment, we are keeping the DINGO/Pupper and the parts in 4 lockers in Stock 1 at the SPOT. The codes
for the locks are in our WhatsApp groupchat description. You are allowed to work on the DINGO / Pupper whenever you want.
But if you are not sure of something, ask someone who knows. We would like to avoid breaking things.
