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.
I don't have a website , but I have the YouTube channel , its going to be a ez robot themed exhibit , I've talked to Alan about the fair and there are some ideas but nothing solid yet. Well see
I do have a ez robot Bundle kit with box I could maybe display. All the robots of course are ez robot equipment related.
I met Alan. We shared an email or two. Seems like a nice guy.
Have you ever done a trade show? Or Exhibit?
I think that displaying the kit would be nice. People would like to see what they are getting. You could conceivably take orders at the booth or direct them to makershed.
Banners, some swag would be good. It'll be here before you know it.
Do you have ideas for a website? I would happily do it for you. You'd just have to buy the domain and give me ftp access. Here's my site (still in works) missingpiecevirtualassistant.com I'll let you know when I put up my robot page.
We could either go with a futuristic theme or since you have several bots maybe light a graphic paper look with gears as design. I don't know. Let me know if you are interested and I'll come up with some mock ups.
I agree about having a raffle or something
. I'm considering having time slots so people can come by and sign up to pilot a robot on Match for a few minutes at a time and then go on to the next person so we dont have the same group hogging the robots all the time.
Oh yeah if you are going to allow people to drive them then you are going to need a sign-up sheet. If you've never been to a Makerfaire then you do not understand the craziness. Last year so many people ran into me with strollers etc cause they were looking at things and walking. Some things I couldn't even see cause so many people were standing around waiting.
I think letting people sign up and giving them a time slot will eliminate that problem. Awesome idea.
@RGordon earlier you said you are near the fair grounds , email me please - [email protected]
From everyone I've talked to so far there's gonna be thousands of people showing up , even tens of thousands if you combine the indoor and outdoor events.
Sure sam that would be really great! It would be awesome to have a website/ blog dedicated to my bots and the evens we go to. Sorta like a digital scrap book.
That would be cool!
