We meatbags are in trouble….

So I’m sure you’ve been watching the Sara Conner Chronicles. No? Or maybe watched The Terminator. Never heard of it? OK, OK. How about the Matrix? No?? Geez, what are you doing on the internet?! Anyway, that isn’t the point.

I’m sure you’ve heard somewhere that machines will rise up, and take over. It’s 100% true. In 50 years when we are living in the rubble of post-apocolypse Philadelphia,  don’t you want some good stories to tell?  Some tales of the olden days when men were in control, and the robots were the slaves?

If so drop by Make:Philly on Sunday, and see Mark Yim talk about his robots that re-assemble themselves. The talk starts at 3PM on-the-nose, so get there a bit early.  His robots can be kicked apart, pulled apart, and spread across a room, and they still pull themselves back together, and continue on their way.  The Maker Challenge, where you build stuff on the spot to beat a crazy and weird challenge, starts at 4 PM.

If you don’t go and see Mark’s talk on re-assembling robots, those long nights around a burning tire in the rubble just won’t be as much fun.
