Maker Faire Austin 2008
THE PONGINATOR


What's 20 feet tall, blasts smoke, flashes lights, roars air-raid sirens and shoots custom-printed ping pong ball ammunition?

THE PONGINATOR! is a fanciful creation of The Robot Group in Austin Texas and it's ready for a second appearance at Maker Faire Austin! Sporting a new steel & hydraulic articulated body, the PONGINATOR should reach up to 30 feet into the sky and blast souvenir ping pong balls for hundreds of feet! Stand by for PONGINATION in 3... 2... 1...
