[Yaaarc] [Fwd: Media Alert for World Robofest 2006]

[James Ronald]

I'm definitely planning to attend the Robofest.  However, since I live in Howell, I will just meet you (whoever else is going) there.  I'll bring my FlutterBot and Laptop just in case other FlutterBot enthusiasts show up with theirs and we want to compare what we are working on.  Also, I don't know to what extent anyone on this list is involved in the Robofest, but I would be happy to help out as well.

  Sorry Neal, but nothing else came through (at least on my system).

  Here's the original notice.  Anyone up for an official YAAARC 
  field trip, to go and enjoy the show as a group?  It's free!
