We went last year and had tons of fun.
Maker Faire 2008 was probably one of my fondest memories of robotics
However, it did require a tremendous team effort. We had to man our booth from 9 am to 6 or 8 pm at night for two days. At least 25 people were on shifts talking to people and driving the robots.
With finals coming up at Woodside and Carlmont the decision was made not to go to maker faire
. We simply do not have enough people to pull off another demo that size.
We contacted 604 about a joint demo but never really heard much back.
If the time comitment is smaller (4 hours each day) I can probably get team 100 to go. Let me know!
I'll be going no matter what!
Some great pics from last year:
