The Moat Boat Paddle Battle is brought to you (and Maker Faire Bay Area) by the awesome folks at SeeMeCNC, Make and of course Ocean State Maker Mill!

We’ll see you at the starting line!

Dunnn dunnnn dunnnn daaaa daaaaaa!   Have you heard?  Maybe you saw it on the Make Blog, maybe you were lucky enough to stumble onto the top secret web site, maybe you’ve been hanging out with us at Ocean State Maker Mill and were in from the beginning.

But maybe, just maybe, you haven’t heard about the awesomeness of the Moat Boat Paddle Battle.  In that case, here’s the scoop!

The Moat Boat Paddle Battle (MBPB) is a new competition coming to Maker Faire Bay Area, on May 16th & 17th.  Contestants (could be you!) will race their own 3D printed paddle boats against others, drag-race style!  Boats can be of your very own design, or you can use one of our sample boats.

Not sure what these paddleboats look like?  Our intro video shows you the scoop.

Hope to see you there for the competition!  Be sure to enter ahead of time to participate – sorry we won’t be able to accept walkups.  Prizes will be announced soon, and they’re going to be AWESOME!

Robot Block Party is today (Saturday, April 11) at Brown University!  We’re busy setting up this morning to show off some of our 3d printers and 3d printed projects.  Stop by the 3DPPVD / Ocean State Maker Mill booth and say hello!  We’ll be at the ready to answer any questions you may have on 3d printing in general, 3d printers, 3d printing materials, 3d design software, and 3d printed projects.

Hope to see you there!
