This is a pretty cool event, which continues today if your interested. It is very kid-friendly. In fact, kids were all over the place. One was enraptured by this man's pet monkey robot:
For the adults, there's the world's most dangerous blender:
All kinds of robots are scattered about the place:
This one is pretty impressive:
The main attraction appears to be the robot battles, which take place in a huge walled-in arena. The wall is necessary because the robots throw one another against it and people could get seriously hurt by all of the flying metal. It's pretty exciting in a weird Thunderdome way.
There were a couple of these fascinating robotic balls roaming around.
Thanks for peeking into Robogames for us! That robotic ball does look really cool. I've seen the Robogames at the Maker Faire. The organizers of both those events have done a brilliant job of making them family entertainment.

ReplyDeleteI actualy thought of your post on the Maker Faire event once I saw what was going on in there and thought there might be some overlap between the attendees and exhibitors. I love this stuff and need to get in the loop on finding out when things like this are happening- though stumbing upon them is half the fun.
