Sometimes, there are times when we find airsoft guns inadequate for our need for fun and excitement. We always have the inner child in us, especially for the male gender, and we look with glee when we see some big and small metal contraptions parade in front of us, especially if these look like robots that we see in the movies.

If you were at the Maker Faire 2015 Bay Area, you might just forget your airsoft guns for a moment and gawk at all those inventions that people from all walks of life make. It would also have been great to see someone use airsoft guns in some of the bots that were on the show, such as this Megabot which uses paintball to lay "waste" to an unfortunate car:

The Maker Faire should be a place that airsoft enthusiasts should think of attending , as many of us love to tinker with airsoft guns, modding and upgrading them , and even mounting them on weird vehicles that we sometimes call them as "tanks" no matter how far they look from a real tank.  The Maker Faire gathers together tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, food artisans, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. Thus, it would be great for airsoft players to interact with these types of people to get ideas, suggestions, and even collaborate on projects that would be fun to use on the airsoft field.

The bots on display is probably what you will be interested in since it would nice to imagine if we can mount airsoft guns on them and lay waste to hapless players in some futuristic airsoft event such as the one planned by Evike.com for Operation Nations End. But still some might have idea on making your old car collecting dust inside the garage turn into some kind of a beast with all the finest airsoft guns and airsoft grenade launchers mounted on it.

Of course, there are other interesting things to see at the Maker Fair 2015 apart from the big bad bots. Small robots are there too like the spiders from Intel, and the simple but fun Ultra High Five. If you want to read more, the best is to read what Gizmodo reported from the event.
