Yes we are!

We hosted the 09 UK championships there last year. This year we are hosting some power tool drag racing with our robots on display.

Re: UK Maker Faire

Yep, affiliated to Make in the US

I have a couple of Humanoid Robots to bring along and maybe a person following rover. Just waiting to see if we can take part as we are hoping to take the place of a group who can no longer attend.

We hold events occasionally around the country pitting our humanoids against each other in Sumo, combat, Football, etc.

Re: UK Maker Faire

James,

Have you found anywhere official where they are discussing the event i.e., forums, etc.

I find an almost complete lack of information anywhere !
