Maker Faire 2007 - robots. Lots of robots. And other fun stuff.

There was a lot to see at Maker Faire 2007 -- too much, really -- but if you're obsessed with robots like we are, this was THE place for you. Seriously, the last time we saw this many robot kits, sculptures, warriors, and automatons, we woke up in a cold sweat fearing the very destruction of mankind. Anywho, being that there is literally just too much to cover at the Faire, we've gone the lazy route and put up a mammoth photo gallery. The highlights:

• EepyBird debuting the Mentos/Diet Coke bottle nozzle (plus the 102 bottle show they put on)
• SparkFun's DIY cellphone and rotary cellphone
• Evil Mad Scientist Labs's DIY 3D sugar printer (writeup here)
  
• Hacked Nabaztags
• Half-lane electric cars
• Wired's NXT-powered flight drones
• Multiple drumbots

If you get a chance to make it out this weekend, we highly recommend!

That's so if the cat crosses the path of the roomba, it can annialte that pussy and get on with it's work.

Damn college commitment. If it wasn't for that, those 600 miles to get there would not be a problem.

Is that a homemade Cathode Ray Tube or Just an old vintage or engineers sample from days gone by?

Holy cow were there a lot of robots. Too many relatively useless ones if you ask me. Still, it was a really fun afternoon.
