Damien Ramirez
Warsaw: Team Pandoras Bots
Originally born as a drawing on a napkin, Warsaw is the grizzled veteran of Team Pandora's Bots robotic assault. Spinning drums, spinning disks, hammers, flippers, wedges, Warsaw has fought them all. Warsaw uses a 2 ft. diameter aluminum spinning disk with hardened S7 tool steel teeth to deliver thundering punishment on its opponents in the middleweight division. As with all robots operated by the Pandora's Bots tandem of Damian Ramirez and Jason Maas, Warsaw's basic premise is to bring the pain all the time, every time. The wins will take care of themselves.

Getting Medieval
Austin EcoSchool's Game of Village Medieval Adventure table will provide the makings that allow each visitor to create a "Peep": a 3" tall alter ego that could be a warrior princess, valiant knight, mage in flowing robes, elegant courtier or uppity serf. We'll also provide a peep-sized countryside for them to explore: a castle keep, a village fair and jousting field of honor. Come play along!

Cranky and Plucky
Cranky is a 14 ft long metal cone on wheels, that has 24 crankshaft music boxes pop riveted onto its exterior. They can be played one at a time, or several can be played by multiple participants to create an eerie carnival-like cacophony.
Plucky is an 8 ft long gramophone looking horn that has four strings strung across the top. It produces a bass-like sound. It can be tuned and experimented with, and the experience of it is in the hands of the participant.

R0B0 or Yellow Bot
This is a mobile platform type robot made from a large yellow transit case. The wheel/motor assembly is from a kiddie Jeep and an aluminum scooter. It is currently unfinished, and I would like to bring him and try and finish the work at the faire. This is a tradition from our old RoboFests from the '80s, and I will have tools, wires, crimpers, soldering irons etc. available for those in need of on site repairs.
