We do have a product called RoboLab, which uses our
software, LEGO Technic/Mindstorms bricks, and
volunteers to teach local elementary school kids about
robotics.

If y'all would be interested in my following up and
requesting a demonstration at our meeting, so that we
can get some space here at work, please let me know. I
will try to find a way to sell it to them.  If not,
then I am out of ideas...  My apartment is barely big

If all that is required is a demonstration of RoboLab during our meeting,
then the room at NI could work out ok. What are the requirements of the
presentation? Is there any participation required on our part, besides
paying attention for an hour or so?

How about access to the room? Will it be available to us from Friday evening
to Saturday evening (or even to Sunday afternoon)? Could we come and go as
we pleased?

I'm guessing that we'll start setting things up Friday evening after people
get off work. We'll then resume setting up Saturday morning and then have
all afternoon (and possibly some of Sunday) to play with our "group creation".

Of course we could try and have this meeting all in one day, but I think
that we'd spend most of it just setting up and then packing up afterwards.
What does everyone else think? Am I overestimating the time required?

Your thoughts, please!

I have never personally attended such an event, but my understanding is that time is usually the limiting factor. In most cases, the participants run out of time very quickly. As the old saying goes - "Time flies when you are having fun." I agree (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)
