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.
