RoboGames 2007 - OMG BOTZ EVERYWEARZ
You know, you'd figure that once I moved out here to the Bay, I'd have all sorts of new and interesting projects getting done with the massive amounts of resources available to me now. Unfortunately, that's diverted by the severe lack of time due to all the awesome shit that happens here. Awesome shit like...
3 days. 70+ events. Hundreds of bots. Thousands of people.
Holy. Fucking. Fuck. I love living here.
Dorkbot Swap Meet happening there:
This is the swap part:
Bring your old electronics, gadgets, and other junk that you would like to swap. Swap it with someone else who has also brought *their* old electronic junk to swap.
Drive in with a truck full of clean electronics crap, come away with a truck and a half full of cool stuff. Emerge with a bright new understanding of this thing called "Community". This event is free with admission to RoboGames, but if you just want to drop stuff off, we'll take it.
This is the Play Day part:
If you were at MakerFaire, you will have noticed that the superlative Michael Shiloh and his friend Wayne put together a utopia of tools, bits of equipment, glue and other stuff so you, the participant, could cobble together all sort of exciting contraptions. This is what we are doing at RoboGames!
Get rid of that roomba you cannibalized for parts, those cables that have been taking up space under your desk, that printer that choked on its own vomit and died, and contribute it to RoboGames Play Day! You will delight countless children and their very happy parents who may now drink delicious beer in peace while Junior is roughing up that old laptop.
We are accepting donation for Swap Meet and Play Day space at these times: Wednesday, June 13, 9am-9pm
Thursday, June 14th 9am-9pm
Friday June 15th 9am-Noon
If you are coming to RoboGames anyway and would like to bring stuff with you to swap, arrangements can be made.
The Dorkbot Swap Meet takes place June 15th, 16th and 17th, 12 Noon-6pm Friday, 12 Noon-10 pm Saturday and Sunday.
So, obviously, I'll be at the event (will have many useless interesting things to shove on unsuspecting people at the swap meet!), and you should be too! Go buy your tickets now.
Or, if you want to get up close and personal, volunteer! Just use the contact page of the robogames site to get ahold of someone and demand a t-shirt and entrance in exchange for your time! Require them to let you help them!
