Nope
I didn’t see it, but didn’t get much floor time this year. Wish I had seen it.

I saw it! I couldn’t tell if it was real. As in, maybe they were able to get it to work once or twice but is it really viable or does it mostly fail and waste time and material? They only had a few very small pieces which seemed like a red flag.
Cool if it works though!

The adults from the left to right:
Jeffeb3, Koren (Jamie’s wife), MakerJim, Barry, Jamie, Ryan, Dave, Rich (Dave’s friend).
srcnet (Jeremy) was at the show too and helped a lot. But he wasn’t around when we took the photo.

I’m willing to bet that the boy in front of Ryan is your mini me, Jeff.

True. But I was handing those out to the crew. I still have a couple of L and XL left. DM me if anyone is interested.

I think it’s funny Koren is standing on a chair, but she’s still shorter than Dave.

I suspect no-name questionable components will be inexpensive, but at the same time that makes it difficult for anyone reputable to compete at the low end. They are forced to aim for a higher-end market instead, and “quality” parts become more expensive.
Anyway, thanks to all who traveled for RMRRF. I enjoyed talking to you and discovering your/Ryan’s projects!

Some follow up questions:
@vicious1 - what ever became of the missing 3rd box? Did UPS ever find it or is it now an insurance claim???
@azab2c - I just realized my cat and the maker galaxy explorer beta kity are twins.
(From the “random things you find in your cameras” division)
Did someone say they were going to build a Milo V2? Curious to hear how that goes if someone in our community builds one.
Edit: And Aza- DM me, I need to get those tablets shipped back to you!

Cute cat, even if they’re Australian 
@MakerJim thank you for following up. Would be neat to see the Explorer tablets help at another event.
@jeffeb3 @vicious1, are you going to Open Sauce? You’re welcome to use the tablets there, I can push an update that has ZenXY pics to the Explorer App, and, maybe a finger friendly version of Jamie’s Sand Sim app?
Insurance…I got back 1/6 what I paid because I was naive and did not add extra insurance. 
I’m up in the air about it. It’s nice because it is close but it is still a hotel stay. I am kinda wanting to use the time saved to work on some hardware and not stretch myself so thin. But Open Sauce is awesome!!!
