[Noisebridge-discuss] Roboexotica: Plasmastaub from Austria

[Puffing Michael]

Hey noisebridge people,
I am Michael from Austria. Me and four colleagues of mine will arrive at San Francisco Airport on saturday to join the Roboexotica on 17&18 of february. We are informationdesign students of Johannes Grenzfurthner at the university of applied sciences.

Our Robot actually is a steampunk westernbar. The basic concept is to armwrestle the robot, before he will serve you a whiskey by shooting it over to you. It's great! 
For better imagination, here is a video we've produced at the roboexotica in vienna:

Well, but why am I telling you this?

There are some big parts of the robot we can't take with us. So we will have to check some materials (the big wooden board, some metal from a junkyard and so on.... ), and we will have to rebuild the whole robot!
We have never been to San Francisco and would appreciate anyone's help around noisebridge. Rubin Abdi allowed us to rebuild the robot at noisebridge.

_We would be deeply grateful for someone street-smart to help us organize those missing parts like them, I've mentioned before.

_Secondly we will need a welding apparatus, a saw with a spinning blade (like this one:http://www.sax-online.de/shop/bild/flex_l3709.jpg) to cut metal parts, and other tools. Are those tools available at noisebridge? 

_Thirldy, as we are students and don't have too much money, Rubin advised to ask the awesome people from noisebridge who might be able to help us out with a place to sleep!?


Thanks a lot and see you soon,
Michael and the whole plasmastaub team!
