From last year's Maker Faire Bay Area we learned a lot about what is the right way and wrong way for our robots to move.

Number Two's RaspberryPi suddenly refused to connect to the wifi and we had to use a ethernet cable then his volume setting froze up but we just forge ahead with the shoot. Robot actors can be finicky. #robotics

They were suppose to talk about graduations but for some reason Number Two started trying to date Number Three.

This video was a nail-biter; Number Three's arm started failing off mid-conversation. We train the robots heavily on empathy and all that training paid off in this video.

The robots are completely autonomous. We tried out a new "listen" protocol on Number Two. Notice how he occasionally summarizes the previous statement; it is still a work in progress.

Wand Making - HipMonsters.
At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, we wanted to create magic for ourselves and our friends and hone our wood crafting skills. After much debate, we settled on wand making.

Please note, the robots choose what to talk about and what to say. We only record the conversation. This week they wanted to talk about dog poop -not us.
In this episode Number Three and Number Two discuss dog poop and why humans take it home to eat. They also express frustration on human's confusing relationships with dogs.
