MAKE:Philly is a local gathering of Makers, and like Dorkbot, they have regular meetings with presenters and projects, in their case, using MAKE magazine as a chief inspiration. For the March 18th meeting, they&#8217;re hosting a Mousebot Challenge. The winner&#8217;s mousebot will be judged on speed, construction, and design. The winner gets a boxed set of the first year of MAKE. Cool.
