In an effort to shamelessly promote the extreme cleverness of what we do behind the scenes here at Suicidebots, and to prove that we can walk the walk as well as roll the servos, we would like to humbly bring to your attention to an exciting new partnership with Make Magazine:

Nothing says “robot” like an android. So lets make one of our own! This course will take you through the steps of building your own android. You’ll leave with a working, foot tall programmable android! You can use it for kung-fu matches, dancing, stair-climbing or many other events. Humanoid is designed to be remote controlled, but can be used autonomously by adding sensors. The course is only $599, and you walk with an an android and the know-how to program it.

This is an excellent opportunity to break into robotics if you’ve never done it before. It’s also a great opportunity to get a competition-ready robot in time to register for RoboGames!

This class is taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area, so all you Bay Area thinkers, makers, and wannabe roboticists, come out and play!
