Got Robots? Giant Skating Robot ‘Marauder’

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Nick Donaldson

Home: California, United States

Marauder is a giant (5' tall, 170 lbs) walking, skating and dancing hexapod robot, and is the fourth generation robot using Nick's locking linkage walking mechanism. The locking linkage leg mechanism holds the robot up against gravity so no motor energy is used while standing and very little to walk as the motors never see the mass of the robot. The current RoboGames Best of Show Gold medalist, the robot was recently upgraded with a reactive rainbow lightshow on each leg. Passive wheels on the legs allow the robot to skate at a fast walking pace and Marauder can now deploy the smaller but similar robot Blader directly from its underbelly while skating. Blader is fifth gen and uses the same mechanism and so is code compatible with Marauder while being 1/4 the size.

Big Birds Ice Cream Bike

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: James Telfer

Home: California, United States

I built this bike from scratch, based on the turn of the century penny farthing bike. It was originally built to showcase our homemade ice cream; turns out the bike is as big of a hit as the ice cream! This is built as a tricycle so that I could pedal slowly {you don't want an ice cream bike as a get-away vehicle!!} Men, grandmothers to teenage girls to children {in other words, pretty much everyone}- loves the photo opp being up so high on the bike. Additionally being up high gives one a sense of power and confidence. I have witnessed shy kids, break into a big grin sitting on top of the bike!
