TrotBot: A Story in the Making
World Maker Faire 2015
May 18th-1st
One geek dad and five kids with a big vision created a new mechanism and built a walking machine the size of an SUV. Hear the story of their explorations, and learn about the technical, theoretical, practical, and logistical issues--as well as the magical moments--they encountered along the way.

Alby Musaelian has been making things for his whole life and loves it. He's made everything from a mini newspaper dispenser for his daily paper (age 6) to a giant cardboard model ship with rigging (age 7) to two stop motion films and several apps (one involving singing toilets). He is 16, and working with Wade Vagle and the five members of Team TrotBot is a highlight of his life.
