Hi everyone, just want to clear things up a bit. We had to pack up PancakeBot in a hurry because we had a 10:20 flight to catch out of JFK after Maker Faire (which rocked BTW) so we didn’t put in the proper time required to pack it correctly. That being said, I was still a bit surprised when I got home to see it in pieces. It took a couple of hours to put back together and it’s back in action. We start doing a PancakeBot class in November for kids and yes, we are improving it too.
Thanks for the well wishes.
Miguel
Here’s a link to a time lapse of the partial rebuild. Maia included.

Ouch. We had some breakage to a couple of demo units we brought back from MFNYC, but they weren’t destroyed.

It is made of lego after all… You can rebuild it.

Man, that is total destruction. So sad, but I am sure Pancake Bot: The Resurrection will be a blockbuster!

Perhaps making a video about “[name_of_airline] breaks Pancake Bots” might assist in raising funds for the reconstruction.
