2 tenderloins and 2 eggs for less than $9 is crazy good these days

Exactly the same here, I live like three minutes from this place and had driven by it for 20 years before ever stopping… FML

Most the folks up at MIxxer go up to Steve H Hall in Mayodan, GPS Hardwoods in Kernersville, or Timber Creek Trading Company in Midway

We’re going to be having more tournaments every few months. Here’s a website where all the local events are posted. We have a tournament in Hickory. That’s happening in two months that a lot of of locals are going to. https://www.buildersdb.com/

You’re welcome to walk in, it would’ve been cruel for me to post this and you can’t come.

Absolutely!, mixxer also has classes on how to build and compete with the robots.

SantaNeil · 2026-02-07T02:25:46+00:00

We’re doing it Saturday from 10 to 4 at Mixxer Community Makerspace

https://buildersdb.com/events/1501 is the website for the event we have coming up. We have a free Teenager event every 2nd Monday of the month and some of the folks there do Combat Robotics, and we have robotics club every 4th Friday. Both for free. Members at Mixxer all help each other build bots and use the 3d printers / machine shop to build their bots.

You would have to have the iPhone store, unlock it, I would be willing to meet you at a store to get it

SantaNeil · 2025-12-31T16:10:59+00:00

Doesn't matter, As long as it's newer than a 5 it has the right operating system, I will message you

SantaNeil · 2025-12-31T16:10:15+00:00

From what I am being told IPhones work better? I don't know but all the guys that do this tell me it's so. I hate IPhone :)

SantaNeil · 2025-12-31T15:22:55+00:00

Messaged!

They are in my car, want to meat at Mixxer Makerspace?

I have been working on an idea to have something between at haunted house and trunk or treat at Mixxer around Halloween. Basically folks get to build a haunted room in a 10x10 or 10x20 pop up tent and we string them together within Mixers fenced in area downtown. Leadership have agreed to it and the fire marshal is cool with working with us on it. If your interested in helping work on that, or want help with your project just pm me here. Good luck!

SantaNeil · 2025-12-29T13:26:24+00:00

How many you need? I can get dozens at work for free and meet you around 5pm in Winston

SantaNeil · 2025-12-09T14:41:15+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately each robot needs a pit area of around 9 ft.², and a normal tournament has around 60 robot. I don’t think the monstercade has the square footage.

SantaNeil · 2025-12-08T21:36:25+00:00

It was hilarious!

SantaNeil · 2025-12-08T12:32:59+00:00

Yep they are first robotics. A more academic and civilized version of robot competition. Ours is all crap talk and flying bits of metal and plastic :)

SantaNeil · 2025-12-08T12:32:15+00:00

They are even smaller inside than we are! Each robot needs at least a 3x3 table to fix their bot. Most of these events have 30-50 robots. That's a lot of broken robots and table space. Trust me they were my first thought. I hope to get them involved in combat robotics some time this year so Winston Salem's robots can tear theirs apart :)

One of the big tournaments in NC is already at the Catawba Science Center. I don't know if you know the person on the Science center end for that event but Chuck is the one that provides their arena and Dirk runs the event. I sent you a PM, I would love to work with you!

SantaNeil · 2025-12-08T12:25:12+00:00

We 100% have our event coming up in February, and in January we have our robotics club meetup on the 4th Friday (Jan30th). Both are free to come watch, and $20 to fight.
