The only thing is that to run Linux I think we'll need at least
8 meg of memory - probably 16 meg.  Simms would probably be easier to
come by than sipps.  We could even buy the memory outright for 
about $40 for 8 meg of memory (or even $75 for 16 meg) these days.

We probably _should_ form some sort of committee for the wheelchair group
robot.  Maybe if someone was really up on the idea, the wheelchair
could be another contest entry.  I hate to get run over by it or see it
go thru a wall or something, though.  8-o

Any thoughts on how we should go about creating a name for the group
robot?  A naming contest?  ...or just call it "hey you."
