Update 2011-09-12:

  • Promo video posted (bottom of post).
  • Ro-Bot-X is sending me one of his Robot Builder’s Arduino (RBA) kits so we can build it at the Faire (no pop-out bot, though).
  • JAX is trying to send me a bot, if he can make it on time!

Since we can’t have an

Since we can’t have an outdoor table, I won’t bring my symet. a solar powered robot without solar energy isn’t very interesting…

83

Still looking for robots?

If your still looking for robots I’ll be happy to bring mine - not that they are that interesting - just a quick and dirty line-follower, and my variation of the SHR.

Let me know, I’m leaving for NY Friday afternoon.

84

I’ll be there Saturday

I am planning on being at Maker Faire NYC for most of Saturday.  I’ll be bringing my walking robot with me.  I can show it off, but I can’t guarentee how long or when it will be working.

85

Excellent! Bring 'em

Excellent! Bring 'em on!

We’ll have some line following tracks set up for the SpurtBots and a maze for Patrick’s Maze Solving Bot, plus materials to make more, so your line follower will have a place to play, and maybe some friends.

I’m going to bring my own robot, Penny, who started out as an SHR, got ‘upgraded’ to an Arduino, and may get another upgrade right at the Faire.

Hey, we’re sadly lacking in

Hey, we’re sadly lacking in walking robots. Definitely bring it by for a visit, and stay as long as you like!

87

I just realized who you are

I just realized who you are and which walking robot you are talking about. You mean the ‘Robo Puppy’ that you showed at the Steampunk Worlds Fair a couple of years ago!

Awesome! Please do stop by. That thing is wicked cool, and it’ll be nice to see you again.

I did send the kit, have fun

I did send the kit, have fun with it. I will have to order new boards with the name changed to the Robot Builder’s R-duino (same pronunciation, different spelling), as the “Arduino” name is trademarked and it seems that I can’t use it in a product without approval and pay a license fee. Let me know if you need the assembly guide, as I had to remove it from the site until I correct it.

89

Cool. Shoot me the tracking

Cool. Shoot me the tracking number via PM, if there is one.

I can probably figure out the assembly myself. You posted plenty of good info on your board.

Thanks!

Too bad, JAX! I hope you

Too bad, JAX! I hope you succeed in figuring out your robot sometime soon, though. Sounds fun.

91

I was there and had a great time at the booth.

Thanks for having it Andrew.  My brother will enjoy making the spurt bot.  Also thanks to everyone who sent bots which were all very cool and to robotgoldfish for his Maker Faire challange in which I won.

Thanks for coming by! It was

Thanks for coming by! It was great to meet you.

Pictures

Some pics from Maker Faire are posted at http://flickr.com/groups/letsmakerobots.

This is a new Flickr Group I created, btw. If you use Flickr and want to post pics to the group, just let me know!

I’ll get a nice summary of the Faire and some video posted soon.

94

Ugh I missed it by this much.
Wow I live in NYC and just did miss out on the mf…

I’m Joe by the way and am new to this site. Glad to have found a place where I can keep a log of my project(s).

Hey Joe, welcome to LMR!

Hey Joe, welcome to LMR! Have a look around and please do post your projects. If you haven’t done so already, take a look at the rules posted at the top of the site for some guidance.

Too bad you missed Maker Faire. This was my first and I’m definitely returning next year.

96

Thanks
Yep read the rules and such and was glad to see the rules this site has in place. Now I need to take some pics.

97

this is a little late comment…but cheers!

98

I’ll ask flummer about it.

I’ll ask flummer about it.

That would be super dope if

That would be super dope if he has any shirts leftover. Maybe inquire for me as well?

Here they are:

Sorry for the delay, but here they are, ome file for the front logo and one for the back.

I made the t-shirts with a foil cutter, that cut out the artwork mirrored, so that when ironed on, it showed up correctly.

The below files are NOT mirrored, so if using the same technique, you need to do a few changes to the files before using.

When it comes to the little robot, the shadow/highlights are made so that the artwork works best with light on dark background

Have fun!
