Re: 2014 RoboFest in Milwaukee

This year's RoboFest was a blast. For the past several years it's been held in conjunction with Milwaukee's HarvestFest at Wisconsin State Fair Park. This year the venue also hosted Milwaukee's MakerFaire.

So in addition to tons of families with small children out to build scarecrows and shop for pumpkins, there was a brand new crowd of folks out to build and do at the faire. (The venue was also hosting the World Beef Expo but I don't think any of the cows or cowboys ventured down to check out the robots or makers.) The atmosphere was amazing.

Thanks to Kevin and UPS crew for hosting. Having the full FMS made a world of difference on Saturday. And glad we could come back on Sunday for the robot demos - fun to see all the kids get so excited!
