Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

Photo Roboto

Home: California, United States

Photo Roboto is a selfie robot built out of a vintage rangefinder camera, scrap pipe, a thermal printer and a Raspberry Pi. It's an easy build for parties. I'm always nervous when it comes to upcycling antiques, so no permanent changes were made to the camera.

It was the designated photographer at our wedding. We got a lot of great posed shots, and a few unscripted confused looks.
