Sisyphus V: A Robot Making a Zen Garden
This isn't a sandbox with a marble in it. Sysyphus V, a kinetic sculpture by Bruce Shapiro looks like a Zen Garden. But instead of a buddhist monk carefully raking gravel, it's an autonomous steel sphere carefully crawling over and over, making polar geometric shapes that can best be described as iterative lilies or stars. A magnet on an arm on a two axis plotter sites underneath the half-ton set up, and Sisyphus is making its first appearance here, at Maker Faire 2008. An unrelated but cool Interview with Bruce, by Cool Hunting\, after the jump. [TaoMC at Makers] More » -

I Love Maker Faire!
I'm so happy Mark, Phil and the rest of the MAKE Mag folks put on Maker Faire. I'm here with Adrian and Lisa and surprisingly, it's even better than last year's. There are a ton of great pieces I've never seen, the weather is fine, the crowds aren't too bad and the food is great. I'd recommend you get your butt down here and come visit the event if you're even remotely close to the Bay Area. [Maker Faire]
