All of our racers made a bristle bot.

After testing all the bots developed some interesting refinements including various antenni, motor, and battery locations

Then there were some fast and furious races (or at least circles). Check out some of the videos below.

Lets Race!

The Championship

Sean).

Ellen Fullman is a local maker, musician, and composer. For this concert, she has stretched metal strings about 100 feet across the Berkeley Art Museum’s largest gallery, and she will play it along with other musicians.

There are a few details about the specifications of her instrument here:

There will a concert on December 4th. Should be amazing and it’s a mere $5.

The Maker Faire Bay Area 2009 Call for Makers is now online.

Proposals are due by March 31st.  There is still plenty of time to finish up that project you’ve been working on and submit it to be in the Faire.

As someone who has exhibited at the Maker Faire in past years, I highly recommend it – you will see a whole different side of the Faire backstage and meet lots of great people while showing the world what makers can do!
