New pictures in time for Maker Faire

Fellow VHS member Luke Brooks came by and took new pictures for the website yesterday. He’s a former Tinkerines employee with great gear and even better ideas.

Here’s my lab workbench up close for the About page:

Here’s the “spill shot” of the ROBO-0033 Makelangelo 2.5.2.

A spill shot should be everything included in the kit. I added the water bottles you should take from your local recycling and some hand tools for scale. We’ll be bringing this kit to Maker Faire.

Here’s the ROBO-0034 Makelangelo 3.2 along side some art created on this and similar machines.

Here’s the ROBO-0023 Arm3:

The last time I brought this to a fair American Airlines misinterpreted “FRAGILE” as “PLEASE CRUSH”. I’ll be leaving this baby at home.

We’re ahead of schedule here, so I’m going to spend the rest of the day setting up a quick order form to use at the fair. Tomorrow I’m going to pack everything for travel on Thursday, and by 10am Friday we should be ready and I’ll get to tour the grounds.

My favorite part of Maker Fair is the magic hour before the gates open when I get an exclusive peek at the show-to-be and I’m surrounded by people full of purpose and energy. Watch for my Friday post! It will have a map to our booth location and a few behind the scenes shots seen nowhere else.
