Maker Faire part 2: robot tour with Mark

Posted on November 6, 2007 12:05 AM |


In today's Boing Boing tv episode, Mark Frauenfelder wanders through Maker Faire in search of interesting robots. First, we meet Babbling Head (an animatronic skull that sings sea shanties), Froggo (a weird slimy kitschy creature 'bot with a squid beak for a mouth), and Seeker Robot (GPS-autonomous RoboMagellan contestant), all creations of Eric Lundquist. Then, we stop by Bleeplabs, and listen to strange sounds emanating from a simple (but cute) analog synthesizer. If you dig today's show, you might also enjoy this previous BBtv episode with cool stuff from Maker Faire '07.

Magellan's the offspring of a Gonk and an Imperial Mouse Droid. They met aboard a Jawa crawler and it was digital love.
