Maker Faire: NC in Durham this Sunday

April 30, 2011April 22, 2010 by Jessica@SheekGeek

Come see our light-following robots and other SheekGeek products! SheekGeek is making the drive from Charlotte to Durham this Sunday to run a booth at the Maker Faire: NC. We are excited to finally have a MAKE event somewhat nearby and couldn’t miss out on the geeky festivities. Sadly, because we will be running our booth, I’m not sure how much time we will have to visit other exhibits, but we will do our best. There are lots of cool things to see, from book binding to CNC fabrication. It looks to be a promising day!

Keeping it Open Source: SheekGeek Adds Online Manuals

February 8, 2010January 22, 2010 by Jessica@SheekGeek

In keeping with the tradition of an open source diy community, SheekGeek is excited to share that we have uploaded the manuals for our robotic kits. The W.A.S.P. Original (pictured) is the first kit SheekGeek created. This light following robot is nifty because you can control where it rolls with a flashlight. Next is the W.A.S.P. Original’s fraternal twin, the W.A.S.P. Solderless. As the name implies, this kit requires no soldering, but is the same basic light following robot as the W.A.S.P. Original. Last up is the Black Widow Walker – a 4 legged, 2 motor walking robot. Yes, we know black widows have 8 legs and not 4, but the name fits the overall design. Maybe one day it will evolve to have more legs…
