Electronics hobbyists and model builders got their fill in Tokyo this weekend with two headline events in the DIY calendar.
Maker Faire Tokyo 2016, Japan¡¯s biggest exhibition of amateur electronics, took place on Saturday and Sunday at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center in the city¡¯s Koto Ward. It was accompanied on Sunday at the nearby Tokyo Culture Culture by the tongue-in-cheek Hebocon (Lousy Robot Competition), which features wrestling-style contests between intentionally clumsy robots.
¡°We are very happy to have more families visiting,¡± said Hideo Tamura of O¡¯Reilly Japan, a publishing company that organized Maker Faire Tokyo.
