Robot Party is a 30 minute weekly internet stream that I am starting! It will cover some of the latest news in the robot world, mainly stories about really big robots and some nifty hobby robotics. After that, will be a live demonstration of whatever I have been working on lately. The last segment is the 5 minute hack, which will be something really easy and quick that you can prepare for your robots. Questions will be taken after that point from the FMCG chat room as well as the UStream channel room.
If you have any ideas for 5 minute hacks, or some projects that should be featured on the show, feel free to leave a comment below or just contact me! We may even invite guests onto the show at some point.
There are lots of ‘casts out there about robots, but I’ve never heard of one that really features hobby robotics and has a weekly hack — This looks like a lot of fun!
Every Thursday at 7:oo PM EST, starting TODAY! Bring your ASCII party hat *<{ ; )

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
