Re: Who's going to a Barnes and Noble's Mini-Maker Faire?

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.

Re: Who's going to a Barnes and Noble's Mini-Maker Faire?

Team 694 is going to be demoing our robots at the Tribeca branch on the 6th. They're offering us 10% of the proceeds during the time that we're demoing so that's a neat bonus.

EDIT: Didn't see that Jeanne had already beaten me to the punch

Re: Who's going to a Barnes and Noble's Mini-Maker Faire?

Team 5438 is attending the one in Clifton, most likely. We are bringing our robot, but cannot bring our Ekocycle, since they sell their own 3D Printers. Any ideas of what to do or what to bring???

Re: Who's going to a Barnes and Noble's Mini-Maker Faire?

We're bringing our Recycle Rush robot for demos and letting almost anyone drive, plus our little demo bot for anyone to drive. We still have our frisbee-bot that's still a big hit in town, but I don't think the mall is safe enough for shooting . Any other robot we bring will just be for show.

Rather hoping more teams will come to Walpole Mall -- 1153 and 2079 will be together Saturday afternoon, and 2079 comes back Sunday but will be with the football traffic. There is plenty of room in the mall itself, though the tile floors will make driving like Lunacy. Wheeeeee!

My team looks at these events around town as showing off the robotics team and maybe picking up a sponsor or getting some person that wants to build robots. We have gotten some sponsorship this way, so it is working.

(Seriously? You get 10% of sales? Should make inquiries....)

We just got an invite today to demo at the East Northport store in Long island. Was wondering if any other teams are going to be there. Directly the week after we have an off-season competition with a brand new bot so we are going to use this demo time as practice time.

Sorry for another post but I figured I would mention that you can ask your Barnes & Noble to run a "book fair" at the store on one day of the event. I assume that is how 694 is getting their kickback.

Basically if you get parents/supporters to spend sub 2,000 dollars at B&N that day you earn 10% of the profits. From 2k to 10k you get 15% and from 10k and up you get 20%.

I don't think we are going to earn a huge amount of money but for every $1000 we will get $100 so it certainly doesn't hurt.

If you live in the Houston area. I am coordinating with the 14 different B&N stores in the area.
