krou writes "The BBC is reporting that robots have taken over Newcastle. Well, sort of: the recent Maker Faire saw an incredible gathering of tech DIY enthusiasts showing off their robotic wares. The event, which is firmly established in the US (the 4th annual Maker Faire in the Bay Area begins on the 30th May), is the first Maker Faire in the UK. The BBC video shows the fire-breathing horse, Rusty, and Titan, an eight-foot tall fully-animated robot that likes scaring kids. Elsewhere, the Faire also had Ian Sharp's physical realisation of Lunar Lander, low-cost multi-touch displays, and even one of the oldest ever case mods, made by veteran computer enthusiast, John Honnibal, who also showed off his old over-clocked kit computer. Pictures from the Faire are also on Flickr, and videos on YouTube."
