From Makezine:
Shota Ishiwatari, creator of the popular Raspberry Pi based RAPIRO humanoid robot, was happy to answer questions and share his knowhow with attendees. Ishiwatari has had several successful international Kickstarter projects and told me that designing the product was the easiest part of the Kickstarter cycle. For RAPIRO he ended up spending over 70% of his time making sure that the Kickstarter webpage and offers were optimized to resonate with potential backers.

With two successful Kickstarters already to their credit, and more in the works, the BreadBoardManiacs have a real passion for helping other makers and improving their tools.
Dale Dougherty’s presentation on the maker movement attracted a SRO crowd numbering in the hundreds. Japanese makers were particularly interested in Dale’s comments and observations on how making stimulates creativity, discovery, and learning.
