Our North Tampa Robotics Club is bringing ButlerBot to the Tampa Bay Mini Maker Faire on March 31st! Our little group has been hard at working building an NXT robot controlled by an XBox 360 Kinect controller. We’re excited to be there to show off what the kids and their dad’s accomplished.

What is a Maker Faire? It is a place where we celebrate the processes of learning and doing, and where we share our discoveries, curiosities, inventions, innovations and ideas as inquisitive, explorative amateurs. Tampa Bay Mini Maker is a celebration of regional do-it-yourself (DIY) character and spirit.

There will be dozens of other displays and a food truck rally. This family friendly event is being held at the University Area Community Development Center at 14013 North 22nd Street, Tampa, Florida 33613. Tickets are $5 if you order online, or $8 at the door. You can order them in advance here.
