I wanted to wait on y'all's input before I took it any
further with work. I will ask today if it's even
possible to get the RoboLab folks to give us a
demonstration. I was thinking of billing it as an
opportunity for more volunteers, and a chance to get
the word out past NorthWest Austin.
How much hoop-jumping are y'all willing to do for this
room? We do have a security guard, but I don't know
if it's even possible to put things under lock and key
when we are not here. I will find out. Setting up
Friday night shouldn't be a problem, but again I
haven't asked yet. I'll let y'all know as soon as I
know more.
This is not something that NI makes any money on, so
the chance for good PR is the only leg we have to
stand on. Hopefully it will be enough.
