Is there some sort of subculture of the maker movement that focuses on building stuff mainly from scavenged and jury-rigged parts, with minimal purchase of new parts? Any good examples or sites or subreddits? Cc @starsandrobots @NickPinkston @niftynei @theartlav

Heteregenous case: how many randomly broken bits of junk from from a particular subset of the economic production web do you need to assemble an arbitrary design in the combinatorial space. Eg... a 6-wheel vehicle with a snowplow attached?

I'm interested in synthesis side... what *can* you realize within the design space induced by the parts universe of a junkyard? Sort of like the Boydian snowmobile question (snowmobile = skis + motorcycle parts). How quickly does the expressivity of a junkspace increase with n?
