Robot Fest is a free 1-day event for students of all ages and for those with the unquenchable urge to create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics and mechanical parts of metal and plastic.  Starting 8 years ago we focused on the demonstration of robotic projects, but more recently we have expanded into realms where technology is used in any creative fashion. We want to encompass the hackers, hobbyists and makers and those who are not content to sit back and watch yet another screen, be it on a phone, handheld, laptop, desktop or wall-mounted flat-panel.  If you are inexplicably drawn to sites like makezine.com, hackaday.com and instructables.com, please come on by.
See something new. Ask questions. Awaken your creative instinct.
  You are not alone.


Did you like building the Roly Poly at Robot Fest 2007?
Would you like to try something more ADVANCED?

This year we will be offering TWO workshops sponsored by the folks at Make:DC!
Build a Miller Solar Engine powered Solar Speeder,or
Design and build your own Miller Solar Engine creation!

Due to the more advanced nature of these projects, we need to charge $25 for each kit.
Even at this price these are 5-10% below list price!

Space is limited and we need to order the kits prior to Robot Fest 2008. Participants will need to enroll and prepay for the kits to guarantee your spot. Contact us at info@robotfest.com by Friday April 11th.
 


Wow! We had such a great response that BOTH workshops are filled up!

We would like your thoughts:
Would you participate if we organized similar workshops at the same location at a later date?
Should we arrange to have these kits for sale at the Robot Fest for you to build at home?

Drop us a line with your thoughts.
Thank you!
