Last month Tech in Motion OC hosted their biggest event to date, featuring high-flying drones and futuristic robots taking over Eureka Building's high tech outdoor venue! As members arrived, they were struck by the sight of a DeLorean and a Tesla side by side on the helipad, before the realization hit that there were drones flitting about overhead.
Featured companies Allied Drones, Aerial Gurus, EZDrones, Team Think Tank, AB Controls and DryWired came out to show the Orange County tech enthusiasts an impressive array of drones and robots.
Local Orange County mobile rechargable power pack company, XPAL Power, graciously sponsored the event and were a huge hit with the attendees. XPAL Power offers power pack cases for all the top smart phone brands and showcased all their innovative products among the motorized tech gadgets.
A Tesla Motor Company representative brought a Model S to the event and parked it right next to an actual DeLorean, compliments of the DeLorean Motor Company of California. Seeing the two cars side by side really gave a great comparison of the past, present and future of motor vehicles!
Drone company Allied Drones had some amazing stationary UAV's. The company filled attendees in on how these drones are being used in regards to cinema, photography and law enforcement use. Seeing these large drones up close and personal is a thrill that they won't forget.
San Diego-based EZDrones has a wide variety of quality brand-name multirotors that ranged from small micro-drones to a large multi-copter, which took flight directly off the helipad! They were selling some of their smaller models and the variety of drones available amazed the crowd.
Aerial Gurus, a local Huntington Beach company, uses drones primarily to perform aerial video and photography for use by the real estate, vacation rental and special event industries. The diversity of their drones and extent of their usefulness in regards to marketing purposes caught the interest of even the techies in attendance.
Team Think Tank brought some robot pieces fresh from fighting to join the party. The owner, Bradley, builds many weight classes of combat robots using unique techniques and materials to employ his diverse methods of weaponry. He then travels around the country and uses his robots in combat competitions. Sounds like a great career, right?
AB Controls is an automation robotics company.Their representatives gave guests a comprehensive look into where their specific type of robotics is useful in different markets. They design and integrate robotic and automated instruments for various applications in a number of industries.
If you were at the event, you might have even seen bursts of water flying toward the drones at some point. DryWired decided to use Super Soaker water guns to give viewers a first-hand demonstration of how their advanced protective nanocoating technology waterproofs their drones! Along with the demonstration, they were giving away swag bags with tons of fun stuff inside for those lucky enough to snag one.
Needless to say, this event was the perfect place to be if you happen to find drones, robots and Tesla to be very exciting! We can't thank Eureka Building, Jobspring Partners, Workbridge Associates and XPAL Power enough for helping put together this fun, informative and high tech event.
