This might be a stupid question, but... does it have to be one OR the other? Is
it possible to have a bit of both?

I think any robots would be great. Whether it's a few from the last competition

take a look. If it helps... I'll build just such a platform, if someone will
bring a bot like that.

I was hoping someone would suggest something like this. I think having one (or
more) building projects on the go during the weekend would be great. This is
certainly more interactive for people to see and would provide additional
drawing power to the booth.
Thanks guys!

| (...) Sure. It also depends on the size of the booth. The robot playfield is large, so it takes good amount of space (12x12" minimum-it's a 8x8" playfield and you need to give people space around it to move). DaveK has a 4x4 playfield, but you're (...)
