[Blackpool] Manchester Make Fest This Saturday

[Mike Hull]

Hi All,

I plan to go with Richard, which leaves room for three others in our "new" car.

Due to guest house bookings I have to be back in Blackpool for 5pm, but anyone is welcome to a lift, one or both ways, but we will leave Manchester around 3.30pm. Any ideas where we can park?

Best regards

Mike Hull

> Last year when it was a Maker Faire I chatted with this guy: http://davidbuckley.net/ and it was he that inspired me to have a go at simple biped robots.  One year on and barring a few software tweaks my Bob robot that shifts weight is finished!  Yes... FINISHED!
> Here he is shifting weight and picking his damn feet up properly at Preston RJam on Monday night: https://twitter.com/teknoteacher/status/628271009074954240  I will tweak him to lift his feet up higher and keep them flat, but that is just a tweak - he walks and he avoids! Yay!  
> My missile firing robot is based on the normal Bob design so doesn't shift weight and will always shuffle like the other Bobs on the 'net and never walk the way I want, so like a weak Spartan child he has been left on a cold shelf to quietly rot.
> So I am ready for my next robot, one that is big enough for a Pi and a good platform for some sensors and playing with some of this maths stuff maybe.   I am going to build one of David Buckleys designs, so I contacted him and he won't be at the Maker Fest this year, he has a spot there but he's not going to show for a few reasons related to the organisation this year.
