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 really sort of limited to "drive around" type demos in that. I think he built it for his own testing.

We've got the platforms, I think. That shouldn't be a problem--we have them
from various competitions (ie, I think Chris has used the "rice box" and the
"hill" from rtl13/14.

We run into a small problem-who's bricks, and what picture. I think between us
all, we might be able to scare up a few 48x48's (say a 192x96 mosaic) but the
issue is getting all the bricks. I'm not sure anyone has that many bricks, and
keeping them all separate is difficult.
That, and a picture of what? How about something Canadian, like...I dunno,
fields of wheat in Saskatchewan or something...Parliament buildings? City Hall?
