I was tipped off by Reid about Dorkbot:
This dorkbot meet was part of the South By Southwest Interactive festival (a.k.a. SXSWi). As you know, SXSW is actually three festivals: Interactive, Film, and Music.
So I headed downtown to the no-cell-zone to check it out for myself. Here are a few photos and videos.
Here’s a video of Aileen Adler playing the theremin (that cool old school scifi noise making instrument):
- Our very own Lego Mindstorms!
- Computer controlled Etch-a-sketch machine. Cool.
See it in action:
I took my turn at Robospin art, see the video:
- Robospinart machine and some works of art created with it.
- This plotter can draw anything from a computer on an egg.
And a machine that draws on an egg (egg plotter?):
- I don’t know what this is but it looks cool so I took a photo of it.
