We have been disussing setting up a booth area to show off our robots and also have a small airsoft robot arena to battle in
So far we have Bret , myself and Alequa my brother coming. I made this thread so we are not discussing things off topic on others. Here is trossens arena for ideas but we can make ours different.
OK tiny update, we want to make sure we have at least two robots to demonstrate with at makerfaire. Given Jarvis's larger size being a modified Omnibot 2000 he should stand out with that bright Crystal Red paint job
. The body has been primed and sent to the painter and he will have it a little over two weeks. Now I can move back onto getting projects like dusty prepped and finish up squeegee who is close to running around by himself
You are taking on a huge project.
Passion moves mountains! deadlines (Maker Faire) can certainly focus ones attention
Do you have any scripts for when he is sitting still on display? Maybe we can help with some personality script ideas.
That would be great! Like a demo mode
Troy that is a great idea. I'm not the one but I am sure that there are some out there. DJ or Alan may even have something.
When I went to the EZ Robot both it was so crowded but I think that they just sat there until someone played with them. They had big touch screen tv like things.
Yes I saw the touch screens. They looked custom made from a projector and camera. Since my time will be limited I planned on having videos play I downloaded from YouTube and some kind of demo that just watches customers and says hello and introduces himself .... Hmmm there's so many options.
Oh I think Troy hit it on the nail. Have them mainly sitting around. Move a smidgen here and there and add some personality stuff. Head tilting, little sounds. When I got the minion ready to go, I had the MP3 trigger in there and I had it set up where when it heard EZ Robot or maker that it would play different sounds.
