Anyone gets some photos of Tyro at Maker Faire

I read that the Tyro was going to be at the NC Maker Faire over the weekend. Did anyone get a peek at it? How about pictures or videos?

Rick,
Dave Minella posted a bunch of Jamboree/Maker Faire pictures on the Flickr page. Some of those shots are of the Tyro ;

Thanks for the pictures.

It is interesting to note that the lower rail, I'll call it the X axis, is shorter than the upper Y axis. I've looked at similar machines of this size and most seem to use a long lower axis and a shorter upper axis. Does the Tyro configuration provide better accuracy than ones with a longer lower axis?
