Go to Proto-Town if you want to see robotically constructed adobe houses, high-recovery desal centrifuges, autonomous construction equipment, solar-chemical air conditioning, a radioisotope reactor, and more. It's delightful. wsj.com/business/entrepreneu…

Proto-Town is such an awesome place to build. We are wrapping up our first home there now and planning our next build set to start shortly.

For the past two years, some folks in Texas have been creating a new hardware city out in the middle of nowhere.
It's called Proto-Town, and it's both weird and wonderful. There are startups and people living in trailers right next to their machines.
They've never let the media visit. But we managed to get our cameras in there. Come see

NEW: The hard-tech world is buzzing about a band of “startup cowboys” in Texas — they’re building futuristic robots, 3D-printed homes, and just got approval for a nuclear test reactor.

Recently visited Prototown for the first time and was blown away by the activity and the progress.
If you're building big stuff for the real world, check it out. Lots of land, friendly rules, short drive from Austin and AUS airport.
Good BBQ nearby too.
