If anyone is in the area and wants to see some fun things ... come out to the Evanston IL Maker Faire this weekend ...
http://www.makerfaireevanston.com/
I will be there with my boys and the hackerspace we belong to ... racing modified power wheels vehicles!!!
If you come ... please please vote for our vehicle on the moxie board ... we really need the points! It's car #911 Duct Tape & Zip Ties. We took a kid's plastic power wheels vehicle that goes 2-3 MPH and modified/hacked it and now it runs 15-20 MPH and it's crazy fun with nerf guns and everything.
