Last year I went two days to make up for the fact that one day, especially sunday, isn't enough. Last year I went two days, including all of saturday (from 10 to 20:00). Turns out that outside of a few talks that were only on sunday, it was a bit overkill so this time I only went saturday all day, having delayed a trip to Tokyo until the next day so that I could attend. It worked out just right, I was able to see a good amount of talks and virtually everything in the expo halls.
I love those guys with the big eyes
R2D2 is always a favourite
Dub has this for your car for just $10K :)
I always needed liquid cooling in my PC and lit components
This year was really starting to be the year of 3D printing. Multiple printers on demo (most weren't new):
Back to the roots competitor which actually does things right:
Some talks:
a new arduino form factor
a very complete, albeit expensive, robot platform
Inside the expo hall:
Video game without a screen
Gabotronics, I his great scopes
all the official arduinos you can get today
opensprinkler, this looks cool. With local control override, I'd buy this
Get your drink right, every time :)
Fun stuff outside:
this car was fantastic
where you can build all your burning man fire machines :)
or this. OMG, this was impressive.
Crazy hexa and octo copters, all the way to dodecacopters (12 blades):
twelve blades, and 2 independent battery systems. Awesome reliabilty
An unsual hexacopter
Eepybird, a crowd favourite, was back for more diet coke and mentos:
this is what they use for their effects
This was all great to see, and I even managed not to bring back several hundred thousands dollars of stuff, so I guess that's good, right?
