HVW was at Maker Faire

Much of this info was buried in the UAV thread, but I thought others might be interested by goings on at Maker Faire etc., where our club earned an Editor's Choice award. Three of our group are working on Picaxe projects right now, and the Picaxe came up in discussion frequently at Maker Faire (an autonomous Benthic Mapping Vehicle developer is now considering looking into the Picaxe to replace/upgrade his Stamps).

We (the NTXBG) hit the Popular Science Blog! Woohoo!!! http://popsci.typepad.com/how20blog/...controlle.html

The first photo is the Richelieu (not mine) as a "Visible Ship" display, with Reluctant and Greene (mine) in the background. The next is a photo of the gun system of my son's Dunkerque with the guns looming over my Lake Shore. The last is the drivetrain of the Dunkerque (Speed 400 motors with planetary gearboxes to add torque and efficiency).

Maker Faire was unreal. Check it out at http://makerfaire.com/
Lots of picaxable projects. :)

And, Solarbotics/HVW, http://www.hvwtech.com/one of the Picaxe distributors was there!

Cheers,

Wreno

Wreno,

Your ships (and the others) looked terrific. I checked out the WVH site. Lots of nifty stuff, but unfortunately I found the web site too slow to be tolerable for curious browsing. I left them a note--hope they can fix it.
