You can hang out with an orange cyborg. Plus, the hackerspace's larger-than-life Connect Four is back by popular demand.

“The HiveLord” cometh.
It’s a cyborg with a TV-esque head that captures your face, built by Hive76’s Pete Perreault. You can play with it at the Arcade @ Dilworth, the kickoff to Philly Tech Week 2015. Read about how Hive76 made the HiveLord here.
Here’s a full list of who will be showing off tech-art projects, apps and games at the April 17 event.
