Halloween Haunt…Maker Style

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Scare Makers

Our exhibit is a unique collection of DIY radio controlled animatronic props, compressed air driven contraptions and 3D video displays all with a Halloween theme. We present these props and displays in an interactive fashion, with the goal of providing all Faire goers young and young at heart with an entertaining, hands-on and educational experience.

RayLights – Audio Activated Lumiere

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Craig Newswanger

Home: California, United States

This dynamic artwork produces ever-changing, mandala-like light patterns that are activated by ambient sounds. The fluctuating, animated light rays range from intense spectral colors to subtle pastels. A sequence of patterns repeats, but when you make sound—talk, sing, clap—the preprogrammed patterns are modified as the lights respond with non-repeating, complex variations of the colors and patterns.

My Heart Will Go On

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Double X, Carlsbad, Daedalus, Rabbitovski, laëiou

Home: California, United States

Exhibited on the Burning Man Playa this year, “My Heart Will Go On” is a 10ft kinetic sculpture that dances with the rhythm of life and love, lighted up by string of LEDs, powered by the sun and wind. Drawing inspiration from the timeless song, “My Heart Will Go On,” this piece recaptures the spirit of enduring love and courage. Amid a world recovering from pandemic, a world with wars and economic downturn, it stands as a symbol of hope and resilience. As you witness its rhythmic pulse, we hope you find love: love for others, love for our shared world, and most importantly, love of yourself.

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.
