Collection of videos at the Mini Maker Faire in Melbourne, 14th of January, 2012.
Unfortunately the video is a little bit shaky and crappy in quality because it was filmed on an iPhone.

PCB plotter. Not sure who these guys were. [UPDATE: They where the Squarebit crew, demonstrating their Zing plotter.] The plotting quality was not that great, although they used a conventional plotter and marker for the etch resist. Interesting concept though, and has some potential with some refinements.

Ultrasonic autonomous car. No details on this one. [UPDATE: It's an Android-powered telepresence robot, called Higgins. Thanks Calozor.

The 'Ultrasonic autonomous car' is 'Higgins' and is actually an Android-powered telepresence robot. The camera is looking at the rear of it, the front has a mobile phone screen and a camera on a pan-tilt assembly.
