Alpha One Labs » nyc http://www.alphaonelabs.com A Community hackerspace in Brooklyn Wed, 16 Nov 2011 05:49:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Botacon 0 – December 12th @ The Brooklyn Lyceum http://www.alphaonelabs.com/botacon/ http://www.alphaonelabs.com/botacon/#comments Thu, 09 Dec 2010 05:34:25 +0000 psytek http://www.alphaonelabs.com/?p=1085 Get your tickets to Botacon 0 today! The date and location are locked in for Botacon 0. This will be a historic event focused on the theme “Robots for a Better Future”.

It will happen at the Brooklyn Lyceum on December 11th. Doors will open at 10am and the program will run from 11am to 5:30 followed by time to hang out until 6:30. Sandwiches for lunch are included in the ticket price.

This will be THE event to get together with robot enthusiasts and cutting edge roboticists. We expect that there will be a lot of MakerBot Operators in the crowd sharing 3D printing strategies and showing off their latest 3D models.

The basic idea is as follows
* A keynote speaker in the morning
* A bunch of small talks and discussions (anywhere from 5-15 minutes)
* About 2 hours for lunch
* A workshop project
* Some more talks and discussions
* Time for people to get dinner
* A bar drinkup

We love the DIY appeal. Our Ponoko RepRap is currently being repaired and we’re preparing to print out 2 Mendels by the end of the year. After looking around for a RepRap meetup in NYC we did not find any, so we decided to start one! Join us every 3rd Sunday of the month at 2pm as we meet at Alpha One Labs to discuss and build our RepRaps. Signup to the google group here for more information:

Firefly mentioned us on the NYC2600 blog! I was there the other week handing out flyers to get the word out about the space and our class.   Hopefully we’ll get some 2600ers over for Tuesday meetings and possibly some events / classes .  We’ve added a link to the NYC2600 site in our blogroll.   Thanks for the mention!

While on the topic of NYC2600 I’d like to share a song that I made a while ago about NYC2600.   Hope to see you all next month (and on Tuesdays at the hackerspace)!
