Ours asked us to demo and is allowing us to do our own fundraiser. Win win?

Team 694 will be at the Lower Manhattan Barnes & Noble on Friday afternoon with "payment" of a portion of the profits from sales during that window.

Adam: Maker Media endorsed this event/publicity thing. They control the phrase "Maker Faire" so a mini-Maker Faire is whatever they say it is

In New York, we just finish World Maker Faire a little over a month ago so it feels odd having a mini-Maker Faire so soon. The good thing is that admission is free.

Any post-"maker faire" feedback?

Our BN "mini maker faire" was a flop. There were three or four tables set up with demos of toys. And almost no customers.

We spent two hours driving our robot around book shelves pretty much undisturbed by humans.
