So much to post, so little time.
Expansion
So much has been going on here, it’s incredible. I feel a bit like I’m playing real life Factorio.
I need more shelves because I’ve run out of space for robot parts, tools, and other great stuff. I’m having a hard time deciding between this shelf and This one. Which one do you think I should get?
Maker Faires
I’m told that Marginally Clever robots will be appearing at both Maker Faire Toronto November 22 & 23 (the Think/Haus booth) and Maker Faire Tokyo November 23 & 24. There’s also the Circle in the Square Look for them, learn about robots that make art, and ask about the coupon code.

Makelangelos Everywhere
At World’s Maker Faire 2014 there were 670 Makelangelos. In 13 days 19 more have been turned on.
How do I know? When a Makelangelo turns on for the very first time it phones home to get a number, and I put a pin in a map at the nearest city. See for yourself: here’s a map of Makelangelos everywhere.
New Products
I have two new products listed in the store and two more that I’m working on. Anyone who opened an account and joined the mailing list will get a notice a few days before I share the details on this blog. Think of it kind of like early access.
Classes
Tuesday, October 14, 8pm at the Vancouver Hack Space I’ll be running a short class on how to use the band saw. We’ll be chopping up scrap from the VHS laser cutter. Cost is $5.
Saturday, November 1, 1pm at the VHS I’ll be running a class on Programming 101 with Arduino and LED lights. $75 gets you a string of 64 LEDs and a power supply. The LEDs are the same ones used in the new VHS giant wall of LEDs.
