Personally I think it's a really good idea. The only question is, who is
going to do the presentations? Volunteers are required. I don't want to have
the same two or three people doing these over and over, it's not fair to
them, as it can take a fair amount of work to put something together for
presentation.

Early on, in the first four or five SMART meetings, we had people describe
their mini-challenge creations in more detail before demonstrating them.
That's one way to get *some* sort of slightly formal presentation. Perhaps
we should go back to that?

What do other people think? Would *you* be willing to volunteer for a small
presentation once in a while? I think it's a good idea to go back to talking
a bit more about our robots we've created, what do you (all) think?
