Maker's Faire

Let's get on track this year and to submit a club proposal!

No  I am not volunteering to organize this, as I will probably be working the Techshop booth.

Plus, last time I was there my robot got run over by a CupCake.

I volunteer to head up the HBRC presence (whatever that means) at RoboGames (April 20-22) and will do Maker Faire as well if no one else volunteers. My sense of RoboGames is you'll need to enter your robot in a competition to get in; yes it costs money but for that money you can get your kids, significant other and friends to help and they become part of "the team"; otherwise it's $25 per-person, per-day. My sense of "presence" would be like we had last year; a little booth along the main prominade where all the homebrewers could hang-out, demo, come-and-go, hand out flyers, etc. We would tag-team watching the booth.

 

Calkins, if you're out there perhaps you could comment?

 

Thanks,

Camp

 

P.S. RoboGames is less than 10 short weeks away; if you're not building you're already behind. Want/need a motivator? Sign up and then build to the event; otherwise you're going to have to wait another year. :-/

Let's have a face to face soon with all those intrested.

Perhaps outside of the normal meeting? Although I'll make sure Simone
or I am at the meeting this month.

We always need volunteers. And we have a few paid positions too.

Last year several folks with the smaller safe robots did an improptu (Robots on Parade) with robots playing music and many kids following along and dancing in line with the machines. That was a lot of fun. I'd like to do this again this year with many more robots of all types and sizes. Also I have noticed the Camp Peavy shows up at many event's works hard  and puts on a great show for everyone. I like working with Camp, he's great! The event needs more folks like him.

WRRF will be there too. Maybe we could get them to put us both near some others?
