At Dinacon: I will be in Dinacon week 2. I’ll handmade robots experiments (and other stuff that moves). I will give a workshop were we will experiment with alternative materials to create robot flowers with one motor, recycled 3D prints and local materials. The goal is to learn about mechanical systems and linkages. You’ll be able to keep your flower!

This is an example flower, but we can also try other mechanisms 🙂

Bio: Electronic artists from Barcelona that likes to play with handmade robots and other mechanical systems. I also like to imagine alternative scenarios for technological worlds. Also I love Dinacon <3
