Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors, Thank you very much for your feedback. We see that you take your task very seriously and with a lot of enthusiasm by reporting this issue to us. At this point in time we cannot come back with a definite reply about including a power supply to the probes shipments, but we will be looking into it after the holidays. We will consider the logistical factors alongside the advantages and disadvantages you have highlighted. Thank you again for your participation and support. Best wishes for 2016! Michela on behalf of the RIPE Atlas Team

The security angle isn't a silly one. There was a talk at Kiwicon recently (no video or presso unfortunately) which detailed what you could do to a server if you were a malicious USB device.

Not that the ATLAS probe is malicious, but does RIPE certify their entire supply chain?

matches my experience with power supplies. The ones i have given without power supplies don't tend to get powered up for a long time.
I got a bunch of USB power supplies, with different plugs, from 'Sim Lim' (electronics market in Singapore) to hand out with the probes. they are all sold as phone chargers. This was more effective - but then with every country in Asia with different plugs, had to amass all sorts of plug. Thankfully, they sell every types in Singapore. :)
It may be worthwhile to ask Ambassadors if they need power supplies to go with the probes, and of what type. But if the choice is to just send the Euro plugs with the probes, then I think it's a waste.
