TinkerCad and 3D print with Robot PU
Maker Faire Bay Area 2026
September 25th-27th
Robot PU Roller Derby: 3D Print, Build & Roll Bipedal Robots!
Roll into the arena and bring bipedal robotics to life with Coach Hao! In this high-energy, hands-on workshop, young makers and beginners dive into rapid prototyping using Tinkercad to design and customize modular roller skating shoes and rolling chassis for Robot PU.
Watch your CAD models fabricate on live 3D printers, snap together your custom wheel assemblies, and fine-tune your robot’s balance and walking gait. Then, enter the roller rink arena to test your engineering head-to-head in dynamic sprint races, agility trials, and obstacle dashes. Perfect for kids and curious makers ready to turn creative 3D designs into real-world robotic racers!
