Because the animation festival and closing/awards ceremony went quite late
the night before, and the robotics round table was scheduled early the next
morning, we ended up starting fairly late, and not too many people showed
up. (I have a feeling some of the other round tables didn't happen at all.)

Most of the time we had left was taken introducing ourselves, and our
interestes in robotics. We did discuss was some alternatives to LEGO's
Mindstorm kit, and the First Lego League robotics competition. There were a
lot of other topics that were breifly covered, mostly in the course of
introductions. What makes a good competition? Why is it so hard to get
people 'into' robotics? Are there too many robotic books? etc.

Next year we'll have to make sure that the schedule allows for a longer and
better-attended round table.
