Just trying to set up plans for the week and allocating time where needed.

BrickCon is definitely a "go", and SMART will have some sort of display there,
though I'm not sure it will be a robot city as we originally planned.


So, any details around exactly what we will be doing and when?  I've never been
to Brick Con so have no idea how it works or where the SMART display would fit
in. I looked at the schedule and it seems like people will be moving their stuff
in on Thursday or Friday, but there is also an entry for Robot City in the
schedule for Saturday from 9:30-10:30AM.  So, are we going to have something set
up that lasts a long time (say all day) or are we only going to have something
going for an hour?  Either way, inquiring minds want to know what to expect so
that we can properly manage other activities like soccer games.

As for the uncertainty around the robot city being pulled off--is that due to
software issues, or lack of robots?  It seems like three would be an acceptable
minimum to at least run around the streets in some sort of coordinated fashion
so I hope that lack of robots wouldn't be a problem.  I can understand if the
software was the bottleneck as it does seem like a pretty challenging project.
