Party with Robots that Can Perform Surgery, Protect Warriors in Combat
Celebrate National Robotics Week April 8 at the Silicon Valley Robot Block Party
(PALO ALTO, CA) - The hottest robotic startups and the coolest robotic technology will be on display for all to see on April 8 at the 2015 Silicon Valley Robot Block Party hosted by WilmerHale law firm and Silicon Valley Robotics, a professional association that supports innovation in robotic technologies.
More than 1,000 people are expected to join the celebration of National Robotics Week in the heart of the Silicon Valley. The Silicon Valley Robot Block Party will feature a wide range of robots - from small ones that can use a persons brain waves to control games to large ones that can protect warriors in combat or perform life-saving surgeries.
Visitors can interact with robotic technology from the Silicon Valleys top robotics firms, hobbyists and the worlds next generation of geniuses. This free event will be open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. at WilmerHales offices in Palo Alto.
The Silicon Valley Robot Block Party is one of the premier events of the sixth annual National Robotics Week. The week celebrates Americas leadership in robotics, educates the public about robotics, advocates for increased funding for robotics and seeks to inspire students of all ages to pursue careers in robotics and other science, technology, engineering and math-related fields.

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
