Robot Fest is a annual event for anyone interested in the creative realm of technology. We welcome all ages of hackers, hobbyists and makers with the unquenchable urge to witness and create new, previously unseen forms from lifeless electronics and mechanical parts. There will be fun and excitement for all ages at this day long event.

If you are inexplicably drawn to sites like makezine.com, hackaday.com, servomagazine.com, nutsvolts.com, or botmag.com, you will enjoy this day of playful invention!

See something new. Ask questions. Awaken your creative instinct.

Robot Fest is experiencing growing pains! As the number of guests has increased each year, our expenses have increased as well! Most folks do not realize that Robot Fest organizers use personal funds to cover expenses in the hope that auctions, t-shirt sales, etc. will be sufficient to reimburse us. This approach severely limits what we can do each year to make Robot Fest more enjoyable, interesting and fun!

Starting this year we are suggesting an admission donation of $6 for adults, $3 for middle and high-school students. Children elementary school and younger are still free!

And for a little fun, have you noticed our Robot Fest Robot logo is wearing cool sunglasses? Bring your sunglasses and save $1 per person! You don't have a pair of sunglasses? No problem. Visit this page, and make your own glasses.

We would greatly appreciate your support of these changes and of the continued growth of Robot Fest / Mid-Atlantic Mini-Maker Faire!

Call for exhibitors is open for the 10th Annual Robot Fest! We are accepting entries for any makers interested in participating in this fair! »
