Welcome to the sixth and final part of our IAAPA 2025 wrap-up, the group of posts covering all the new amusement showcased out in Orlando exactly a month ago. It feels a little strange to realize that this amount of time has passed already, but it is a testament to how much there was at the show. This shows strength in the sector as far as opportunities go, although there are other economic headwinds that have been present for a...
Retro Roadshow has delighted crowds at Maker Faire Bay Area since 2023 with their carefully curated collection of vintage computers and consoles. They consistently center their exhibit around a solid theme, and do an excellent job making sure visitors have a great time. The traveling exhibition was started by Huxley Dunsany, who grew up in the 90’s desperate for computers and video games. But his family was poor and frequently homeless. “I quickly learned that older (aka “ancient and...
Arduino Team — December 17th, 2025 When Vitor started building his humanoid robot a year ago, he didn’t have any specific application in mind. He just knew he wanted a robot and figured he’d find a use for it later. Well, he finally gave that robot a purpose by converting it into a bartender. The original robot looked like the sort of thing you’d see in a gritty sci-fi movie, cobbled together by some kind of...
Microcontrollers and single board computers continue to get better as 2026 barrels toward us with more power and more capabilities that are perfect for amping up your next build. And while the big names like Arduino and Raspberry Pi have just released some exciting new products, they’re not the only game in town. Here are 15 standout boards that have us excited for 2026.
Arduino Team — December 16th, 2025 When doing general computing, you probably use a conventional mouse or trackpad. Then if you want to work in 3D, such as when using a VR headset, you need to switch to motion-tracking controllers dedicated to spatial tasks. That switch represents inefficiency and an extra cost. SpatialMouse is a single device that performs both functions. Imagine if you took a VR controller, such as for a Meta Quest, and...
Revealed earlier this year and also seen at IAAPA 2025, we have confirmation that Wahlap’s Storm Racer 2 is now available in North America. Quick background and the deeper details right afterwards.
Want to study the raw power of lightning? According to Engineer Grey Leyh you build tools to control it, and that is just what he did. At Maker Faire Bay Area last fall, he walked through two incredible projects that turned extreme physics into reality. First, he resurrected a plasma cannon.Starting with an old, powerful device from the iconic Survival Research Labs, Greg rebuilt it with modern parts. Explaining how storing and releasing energy in a microsecond burst—called pulse power—creates...
Photo: Václav Koníček @ Maker Faire Brno 2025 MAKER FAIRE is interesting, innovative, inspiring, and, ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

Since 2023, we have been sharing this collective feat in our annual Yearbook, aiming to bring together the...
