I think it would be great if we had some presentations or something like
that to help us learn more about mindstorms and how to do cool things with them.

Some ideas for presentations are:
   Explain how you made a cool creation
   explaination of RCX internals
   Demo on programming RCX with different languages/tools
   secrets for building

We do some of this already in an informal way when someone is interesting in
one of our creations.

What do you all think?

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?
