The latest edition ofMaker Faire Bay Area took place on Friday May 19th to Sunday 21st. This eventis one of the biggest organized by Make Magazine, three days dedicated to innovation,inventions, startups, steam education, art, fun, and everything that identifieswith the Maker Culture. San Francisco's Bay is the place where many digitalrevolutions were designed and took place and is also home to America's mostimaginative "do-it-yourself" spirit.
At Fablab O we allknew it would have been a great opportunity to visit this exhibtion, but... wewanted to be more than simple visitors!
Our Fab Academystudent, J.Travis Russet, had just completed his Machine Design assignment calledDishuBOT, a machine capable of painting calligraphy on the ground and we toughtit would have been great to exhibit this project in Bay Area. The applicationswere closed months before, but we sent it to the Maker Faire organizers anyway,hoping for a positive response. The same day our application was accepted andeven featured on the homepage of the Faire's website... yes we were going toSan Francisco!
今年美国旧金山湾区MakerFaire 在5月19日星期五至星期日21日举办。这个活动是由Make 杂志组织的最大的活动之一，三天致力于创新，创新，创业，蒸汽教育，艺术，乐趣以及与创客文化相关的一切。旧金山湾是许多数字革命的设计和发生的地方，也是美国最有想象力的“自己动手”的精神。
在Fablab O我们都知道这将是一个很好的机会参观这个展览，但是...我们不仅仅是简单的游客！
我们的Fab学院学生J.Travis Russet刚刚完成了他的机器设计作品“DishuBOT”，这是一个能够在地面上绘画书法的机器，我们认为在湾区展出这个项目是非常棒的。这些申请是在几个月前关闭的，但是我们还是把它发送给了MakerFaire组织者，希望得到积极的回应。同一天，我们的申请被接受，甚至在展会网站的主页上显示了...是的，我们要去旧金山！

On Friday morningfinding our boot was not easy, we didn't realize just how big and crowded theevent center was and how many exhibitors were present at the Faire: in threedays 125.000 visitors from 49 countries around the world, 1200 maker's projectsand 53 international maker's projects. Eventually we settle down ourexhibition, including the latest FABO education projects, samples, stickers andthe DishuBOT, programmed to paint the poetry "Drinking Wine" on bigrolls of paper. The weather was so hot, we could not use the brush and waterbecause the water was drying too soon, but we thought ahead of this andprepared in advance an additional effector that could hold a black marker.
星期五早上发现我们的开端并不容易，我们没有意识到活动中心有多大和拥挤，以及有多少参展商在展会上出席：三天来，全球49个国家的125,000名观众，1200个创客的项目和 53个国际创客的项目。 最终，我们安排了我们的展览，包括最新的FABO教育项目，样品，贴纸和DishuBOT。DishuBOT在一大张宣纸上写下编程好的诗词《饮酒》 。天气很热，我们不能使用刷子和水，因为水会立刻干。但是我们提前想到这一点，并提前准备了一个可以容纳记号笔的附加效应器。

The response from thevisitor has been outstanding, fellow makers and professionals found the designvery interesting and complimented us on the technical aspects, but also casualvisitors, kids, mothers, boys and girls, people of all ages, they were enthusiastand stopped at our table, enchanted by the slow, rhythmic movements of theDishuBOT. Many of them were Chinese Americans, and they could read and evenperform the poetry, like two young girls from Taiwan.
来访者的反应很棒，同行的创客和专家发现设计非常有趣，称赞我们技术方面过硬。而且休闲的游客，孩子们，母亲，男孩和女孩，各年龄段的人们都对这个机器很狂热，纷纷停在 我们的桌子旁，被DishuBOT的缓慢，有节奏的动作迷住。 其中许多美籍华人，比如两个来自台湾的女孩，都阅读甚至为其表演诗歌。
