May 7th and 8th 2011 was a weekend packed with tons of amazing DIY work showcased at the Toronto Mini Maker Faire. I figured this event would be a great chance to finally get my FI-AUAV out in public to see what the general impression was. After two days and a couple thousand people, I can easily say – I can’t wait until next year!
The event was hosted in the Evergreen Brick Works, which was a great venue for this type of show. There were tons of makers with great things to show off. From crafts to robots, the Maker Faire seemed to have something to keep anyone interested.
As mentioned above, I was there displaying my FI-AUAV project. This was the first time this project has been out in public and since I wasn’t able to fly the UAV at the event, I decided to show off the simulation software and integration the UAV has.
