I'm replying to my own message that I posted a while back.
While these aren't autonomous robots (yet), the construction,
attention to detail, and mechanical design of drivetrains and complex
mechanisms are well worth marveling at.
Jerry's invited the DPRG, but you have to contact him to let him know
you're coming. Details below.
I'll be there Saturday morning and afternoon, with a giant box of
aluminum R2 parts that I bought, but haven't had time to assemble.
