We can host artists, connect lights/music to art exhibits, have poles for dancer performances, fire dancer performances, host guest bartenders and food gifting, and are open to other ideas that will provide joy and awe for fellow burners.
- Microphones
- LED lights that can be individually addressed
- DJs (must use onboard mixing deck, please be prepared to bring a USB)
- Bartending location in the bottom of the robot

Looking forward to hearing from you!
More info:
TechnoGecko is an all-electric mutant vehicle currently made up of three different modules (when completed, it will be 6) that move together on playa to appear as one mega art car. Think TECHNOLOGY Gecko (not techno music). It runs on batteries, is driven by a remote control (nope, no driver seat), is 40' wide and 80' long, and has a lot of other cool tech bells and whistles. We also have an autonomous beer robot named Keggy and a mixologist named Mr. Tipsy that are usually onboard - we love tech!

Scheduling background details:
- TechnoGecko charges the batteries during the day so most of our collaborations are scheduled from sunset through sunrise
- TechnoGecko requires a minimum of 8 volunteers around the three modules to walk the Gecko around playa (per Burning Man Mutant Vehicle rules) -- we schedule the 'walkers', you do not, it's just a FYI
- We usually schedule 2 x 4-hour shifts each night (we call them night and late night) for our walker and driver volunteers to man
- Each shift is usually segmented into 4 x 1 hour blocks to schedule artists/collaborations
- For the 'late night' sets, we can stay out longer if we have enough volunteers willing to stay out to maintain the minimum required walker numbers and if people are vibing it. Any artists around for those late night shifts can get slotted in again if we stay out later/longer
- As always, things may not go according to plan which could mean that a shift could be canceled if we have any technical difficulties (which seem to happen less frequently these days due to building in more redundancies but do still happen on occasion)
- We usually do NOT have set places ahead of time we are going each night but do have a vehicle tracking device in camp you can use to find us called WTF (where's the fun)
- We have limited bike space on the Gecko
