CIMG5453 An upright bubble from wheels from the Robot Group

CIMG5453 A Robot Group creation whose name I don’t know. Nor do I know what it does, other than drive around. For my own reference I call it “an upright bubble on wheels”. Seen at the steampunk party at SXSW 2007. Here is the picture of its “face” side.

The “Futures Past” steampunk party was thrown by EFF and several other organizations at the SXSW conference on March 12, 2007 at Scholz Garden in Austin, Texas. I didn’t know many people there, so I went there mostly to see the costumes. Ah, the costumes! Unfortunately, I don’t know the names of any of the people I took pictures of. On the technical side of things, Austin’s own Robot Group had an exhibit there, showing many all sorts of new flashing, singing, wiggling mechanical creatures I haven’t seen since their last exhibit.
