Hello!
I am a handbag designer based in Rhode Island (kentstetson.com). I am working with a couple high school FIRST robotics groups, and a couple engineers/operators to stage a runway show performed by bots and a couple drones modeling a collection of handbags called “Motherboard”. I have scored the collection with a far-out electro/synth music duo, but I am wondering if there may be any bot operators interested in taking their bot on the catwalk. We would have a rehearsal on September 18 and again on the morning of September 22, with the show in the evening. I have a small budget, some hotel comps, and can pay with cool bags. Let me know if you are interested in getting more information at [email protected]. Really appreciate your taking the time to think about this, I am happy to be working with some of our public high school students but I think that the experience would be enhanced if they could work along some semi-pro bot engineers. Ideally the last couple bots down the runway would be a little more advanced in appearance than the FIRST bots leading the collection.
Very interesting event! I’ve seen drones used in S. Arabia too to model women’s clothing. Hopefully you will have some members here from New York who might be interested.
