Reboot?

In my trademark style, I ran out of money and motivation, and abandoned the G2F plan and blog for three months. Let's try this again.

A lot's happened. Last weekend, I went to San Francisco with some engineer buddies of mine to participate in Robogames BarBot 2012, a fundraiser for Robogames. The idea is to build robotic bartenders that mix cocktails. We spent the preceding 11 days welding, soldering, hacking and coding, and I'm really proud of the result, Santa BarBot. Here's a pretty good video of it in action:



The forearm holding the iPod drink menu is none other than Zach Rubin, whose blog covers more tech details and links to coverage from Make Magazine(!). We got a couple hundred people a little too drunk, made some money for a non-profit, and had an absolute blast the whole time.
