Robot Petting Zoo

So Saturday I took the bot down to Union Station's Science City with the others and we set up the robots for a "robot petting zoo" as part of robot week over there. It was pretty cool: the makerspace in there was showing kids about robots, some high school robotics team had their works on display (high school robotics teams! Where were these when I was a kid!?), lots of kids running around and digging the robots. The science museum is a neat place. Have to take my niece & nephew sometime. Anyway, had a leg and foot drive on display, so we could show how they work. Just about got the legs done and ready to attach, so that's pretty cool. Won't be long now.

Set up and ready, the calm before the storm:
