This year at the World Maker Faire, in addition to having our regular awesome booth, we had the honor to sponsor the Hardware Hacking Area of the Maker Shed! We pulled together 30 volunteers from the community. Â On opening day, we set out to break a record. We had an awesome scorekeeping program (spinning Logo by Matt) that made a robot sound anytime someone scored (helped someone learn to solder or build a bot) as well as some cool medallions designed by Leala. We ran out of bots the first day and had to have more flown in. On the second day we must have done over 1600 kits! Thank you Marc and Tom for the editors choice awards. Also thanks to all the members at Alpha One Labs who helped make it happen, all of our volunteers, the drivers (Dave, Zach and Tim), our DJ and Dave and Robert for showing projects at our booth. Additionally thanks to TOG Dublin for sending over Robfitz, he was awesome every minute we were there and won first place to show it! Finally, we’d like to thank Mitch Altman and Jimmie Rodgers for continuing to provide the Hardware Hacking Area to events worldwide. It was so much fun to help out with and we hope we can do it again next year!
