Q: What is Omega Verksted?
A: Omega Verksted (OV) is a student workshop for hobby electronics and other projects. Members of OV can use our facilities and equipment, as well as buy components and snacks. Omega Verksted is also a student organization, consisting of a highly active group running the workshop (OV-Styret/The OV Board).
Q: Who can become a member?
A: Anyone.
Q: What are the benefits of becoming a member?
A: All of this:
- Free coffee as long as you drink it at OV, otherwise cheap coffee to bring with you
- Access to buying from Omega Brus og Sjokolade (OBS), including frozen food, candy and various refreshments
- Access to buying components at reasonable prices
- Access to tools, instruments and equipment at the workshop
- Lots of nice nerding and procrastination
Q: How do I become a member???
A: You pay a one-time membership fee of 200NOK. This will net you a lifetime membership of OV.
Q: When is OV open?
A: OV is open whenever someone from the board is present.
Q: Why are there always people at Omega Verksted?
A: A combination of lots of lovely people, an active social environment, free coffee, and everything you need in general results in many people preferring OV over their student dorms.
Q: How do I Solder?
A: See the Soldering node.
Q: How do I pay for food or components?
A: To buy things at OV you must be a member(see above). However, non-members can buy components( not food) when they pay more than 50 kr. This means you can either add something else to your order or pay extra for what you already have.
Q: Can I get a invoice for my company?
A: Yes, organisations and companies can become invoice customers (TODO: add page on this). However, this is only easier if the group intend to do purchases at OV multiple times. If not, it is probably easier to pay as a member and get refund from the organisation/company.
