The bots were not made specifically for 826, but are available for purchase through their shop year 'round as well. You can also find me on etsy, and at shows and markets in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area, next up Maker Faire Detroit at the Henry Ford July 30/31st.

This is a detriment to a project like 826 Michigan. I'd humbly suggest they apply for the Shaddow Art Fair next year. Less traffic, but more geeks who may be a bit lubricated due this smaller art fair being held at a local brewery.

I'm always nervous about creating artwork for charities. The closest I've come is creating a custom robot cat for a ASPCA charity. Awesome robots, but I’m utterly biased.
