👀 Keith Sachs at Open Sauce 2025

Most Open Sauce attendees don't get to see it, but the San Mateo County Event Center was buzzing right before the event as exhibitors rushed to get their booths set up. @KeithSachs experienced the same thing while loading stuff in and out ahead of last year's show, so he came prepared with a very practical solution: a cargo robot capable of lugging around boxes and equipment. Hackster Pro Cameron Coward was on the scene to check it out!

The robotic utility vehicle's frame is made of interlocking aluminum panels fabricated by SendCutSend, which collapse down into a package small enough to fit into a carry-on for easy transportation. It is driven by a hacked hoverboard and Sachs can control the bot’s movement through a standard RC transmitter and receiver set, with power coming from Hercules (Harbor Freight) power tool batteries.
