Looks like pool member Nortis had a lot of fun building drawbots and setting them loose inside a makeshift art-corral.

MAKE will be at the Robo Business 2008 conference April 8th to the 9th and then on the 10th will likely hit the Andy Warhol museum as well as hoping to meet up with some Pittsburgh, PA Makers - post up in the comments if you're around and/or want to meet up!
We'll have tons of coverage from the event, hit the site and view the speakers/talks and let us know if there's anything specifically you'd like to see.

Jason Lane builds some very awesome mechanical sculpture from reclaimed machinery parts. He has a particular talent for animal forms and movements all rendered in an ingenious toy-like manner - in addition, his mechanical rocking chair and musical human hamster wheel are not to be missed.

Wow. This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. And talk about a "junkbot," it's made from scraps of wood, a cheese container, tons of hot glue, some gearmotors, the Picaxe 28, and the L293D motor driver.

This little yellow-tracked robot roams around looking for something to drum on. It samples the sound, makes sure it is good, and creates little rhythms.

Robot-turned-Synthmaker Stanley gives an awesomely quirky video demo of his new sound-making device. (WARNING: contains a little cursing, smoking, and lovable condescension)Stanley Povoda, the worldfamous "Robot Man" is now creating all kinds of sound-devices for Metamorphosis.

Robot Magazine has an excellent piece on their website about machining sheet metal parts for robots (obviously applicable elsewhere) using a Sherline Mill.
