Sure, it’s no $500 3D printer, but the folks at MakerBot always have plenty of fun stuff floating around their Brooklyn headquarters. Stuff like, you know, a Robot Petting Zoo. The company’s prepping a slew of 3D printed ‘bots for display at the upcoming Maker Faire in California. CNET‘s got shots of the robots, each of which have special functionality like old Button Bot pictured above — not so great for petting, but he likely knows more tricks that your average sheep.
