Over the past two months, a dedicated group of seven makers have been working on an unusual group build. In this latest collaboration at Vector Space, members challenged themselves to create something unexpected: a giant cardboard sculpture.

November brings the most destructive robots we can wrangle from up and down the East Coast.

This month, we're thrilled to recognize Kristen as our Maker of the Month—a multi-talented artist, leader, and community builder who’s made a lasting impact on our space.

The computers at Vector Space just got a serious upgrade, thanks to a planned effort from our founder and Facilities Manager, Adam Spontarelli — and an unexpected but perfectly timed visit from member John Vollmer.

Seven builders in all contribute their own expertise, creativity, and grit to a project that’s nothing short of visionary. Much like the best collaborations we see inside the makerspace, the Robotic Legends team thrives on the diverse strengths each member brings to the table.

At Vector Space, being named Maker of the Month is more than a simple nod to someone’s skills—it’s a way to honor individuals who truly represent the spirit of the maker community. That spirit is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, continuous learning, and a commitment to building alongside others. Makers like Vanessa show us what’s possible when creativity meets purpose and generosity.
