June 2019

We started June with two days at the Riverside Festival with for the first time our own stand. Saturday was nice and sunny, Sunday on the damp side.

PI-Wars 2019

One of our younger members James competed in PI-Wars 2019 at Cambridge at the weekend. He was placed 10 out of 15 in his class which is a fantastic result as he never competed in any of the autonomous challenges. He managed to get through to the quarter-finals of PI-Noon where you have to burst balloons on your competitors robot.

2019 May

One of our busiest months with two exhibitions in Birmingham

3D Printer Meetup Birmingham

Last year Keith attended the first 3D Printer meetup in Birmingham. This year he went back with Hackspace members Bill and Jan with our own stand.

I think something went wrong with the timing of the last Sierpinski Pyramid. A case of Last Man Standing?

On Saturday, May 11th Tony represented Leicester Hackspace on the National Hackspace Stand at Makers Central NEC.

His milk bottle recycling and spark generator were well received.

Create-a-con 9th March 2019

The Hackspace attended creat-a-con at the LBC on Saturday, 9th March. It was another great success. Once the doors opened we had a steady flow of visitors. So many in fact we did not have time to take any pictures, we are waiting for the official ones. The 3D printers and sandbox were a great success, with lots of visitors asking about the PI’s and high energy display.

Raspberry PI Birthday Jam Party a success

We had 21 tickets taken up out of 40 for the event with 17 attendees plus members. There was a workshop area with 8 Pis where attendees could use Scratch or Python to control some traffic light LEDS provided by the foundation. Russ brought along his collections of Pis with a robot arm , Steve brought along some of his robots. In the Pi noon arena James Pi Wars entry had several hours of testing. Our doorman George did a great job welcoming people.
