Please help us make more robot creatures & interesting things!

As many people here reading this know, we really enjoy making robot creatures! It’s our passion, we want to eventually create a world where these robot creatures can interact together and with humans.

One of the problems that we’ve run in to right now is that we don’t have much money to spend on different robot parts. We want to make bigger robots with more actuators and sensors- for a different interactive experience. But, we get stuck on creating little things. It becomes extremely difficult to earn money when we are spending much of our time on creating these robots.

We need your help to support our robot building activities and experiments. With your help, we will be able to make more crazy robots. We will also be trying to save money for Maker Faire NY, 2013.

We set up a page on Patreon,where... more »

There are 51 hours left to the Linkbot Kickstarter! Check it out: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/barobo/linkbot-create-with-robots

Linkbots are modular intro robots. Link em together to create a superbot. Maybe one day there will be enough to link around the entire Earth ^^ +Barobo Rob

Fundraising for a Robotics kit

Most people know that I am keen to help females into Technology as much as possible. I would love to even up the numbers. I am not doing this at the expense of males in any way, and equally encourage anyone with a great interest.
My son is in the local robotics club, but due to restricted parts and budget, my daugher is unable to join. Several other females have shown interest in joining also, however due to not having enough parts, they are unable to.

The Robotics they use are the Vex ones, as these are the ones used by all other schools, and the only way we can compete with other schools, however they are a little expensive.

My goal is to raise the money for another 'Classroom and Competition Robotics Kit' plus a few other parts so they can make the best robotics they can. The cost of this kid is just  over $1200NZD plus... more »

SUPER AWESOME SYLVIA'S WATERCOLOURBOT -> WHITE HOUSE SCIENCE FAIR!

+Sylvia T has been making a nifty Watercolourbot and was invited to the White House Science Faire!

She needs your help to get there!

Check out her campaign here: http://www.gofundme.com/sylvia-science-fair

It's really fun to admire the design of the robot, how it works, and what it makes. Could you imagine if your art class was to build & modify a Watercolorbot? It would be SO COOL.

This will be really a cool way to get more people interested in STEM, and teach people how to draw (err, maybe make a robot draw that is)!

Pleeeeeeaaase share, donate, +1, and build robots! THANKS!
