Maker Faire

Things have been crazy busy lately, but I did have the opportunity to take my dad and son to Maker Faire last weekend. It was nothing short of amazing! We all had a blast, and like most good things it had to come to an end all too soon. I'm already looking forward to next year.


The battling robots were quite a site to behold. It is one of those things that you have to see in person to really appreciate.


Charlie was in awe of meeting the Star Wars R2 replicas. His facial expression the whole time was priceless.


Charlie also got to make his own kite. There were all types of great activities for the kids.


TEXLUG had a great LEGO city layout, complete with train, statue of liberty, the Alamo, an Apple store, and a dinosaur invasion battling army troops.


A nice armada of LEGO frigates built by TEXLUG.


Charlie had a lot of fun with the LED tetris game from SparkFun Electronics.



The following videos are from the ArcAttack singing tesla coils. They also had an automated drum kit and PVC pipe organ to play the music. Its another one of those things that you must experience in person. I can't get enough of this stuff!






A big thanks to all of those who helped make the Maker Faire happen, and I already look forward to next year!
