I have not been writing updates because all of my free time has been preparing for Maker Faire.
There will be a cocktail robot making workshop at 11am on Sunday. Participants will walk away with a working four-pump Hello Drinkbot.
I have the laser cutting done for close to 30 bots (the workshop should use 20 of those), I think everything I’ve ordered has arrived, and I have been working on the SD card image.
I keep thinking of new little goodies and easter eggs to put on the SD card. For example, it has a copy of Bruce Wilcox’s Chatscript engine compiled for the Raspberry Pi.
And then last night about 10pm I got an idea for a “Shorty” version of the case — just the top part of the normal case, which contains the pumps and electronics. It is intended to be set on a shelf, or attached to another frame. So I have parts cut for about ten of those.
I will be at Maker Faire Friday by 11 (knock wood).
I still need to work on the instructions and presentation for the workshop, and I would like a handout about Cocktail Robotics and Hello Drinkbot for the booth.
So…busy me, happy me!
