Maker Faire 2011

It's been four years since attending my first Maker Faire, and this year was great! Each year there are a lot of awesome projects, robotics, electronics, DIY, and the like. This particular year was even better since I am now becoming increasingly familiar with DIY robotics. I felt that I was able to relate to a lot of the content more so with having worked on my robotics project. Below are a few pictures and videos of some of the projects I saw at the faire.



Microchip's ChipKit:



Listening to Massimo Banzi (Co-founder of Arduino) and Chris Anderson (Editor and Chief of Wired Magazine)


Surface ocean research robot(not sure of the name):



Google's SKPR bot:



Master Chief:




DIYDrones and their ArduCopter:









Testing driving a Chevy Volt:



My girlfriend learning to solder:

Did you make it this year? If so, what were some of your favorite projects?
