A robot created to be "the artificial life of the party"?

That's what we discovered, at the recent SoCal MakerCon, in Pomona.

Meet Partybot, created by Sam Ontiveros.   This is the first robot Sam's built--so far.  (We can't wait to see what's next!)

Sam talked about the inspiration behind Partybot, some of the challenges of the building process and the resources he'd found most helpful, in making his vision a reality.
In this episode of Over Coffee®, you'll hear:


What was involved in creating the robot;


What Partybot is designed to do;


An unexpected operational challenge Sam encountered;


The origins of Partybot;


The current robotics innovations Sam finds inspiring;


Sam's thoughts on his future robotic creations;


A resource Sam found essential in the robot-building process;


The approximate cost involved in building a first robot.
