This spring the 4th annual Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, California. Maker Faire is a celebration for the do-it-yourselfers of the world, showcasing creations in arts, crafts, science and engineering. DIY robots were one of the big attractions of the event and include robots that mix cocktails and replicas of Wall-E and Star Wars robots. Robots battled it out in the RoboGames and navigated an obstacle course using GPS in the RoboMagellan competition. Over 65,000 people attended Maker Faire, a testament to the popularity of DIY creativity. Read more at the Maker Faire website.
