Thingamabobas is a playful, sensory experience for the whole family.

Meet and interact with a circus troupe of bizarrely wonderful machines created to inspire, delight and intrigue. The work combines robotics, found objects, and sensing technology, and is inspired by circus performers such as acrobats, trapeze artists, tightrope walkers, jugglers, and unicyclists.
