DPRG mailing list archives: [DPRG] Calling All Robots -- Wall-E Disney event

DPRG --
     The Museum of Nature & Science (our host for many contests and until
recently monthly meetings) has asked me to pass on a request for our
robots to appear at a museum event alongside Wall-E from the upcoming
Pixar film.  Wall-E will be visiting the museum on June 11th from 2P
- 5P.  The museum would like our bots to be running around as well to
show the hobby realm of robotics.  They will use this to
cross-promote the Roving Mars IMAX film, summer robotics camps, and
with a little bit of stretching, tele-presence and control for the
current "Eyes on Earth" satellites exhibit.
     If your bot would be interested in attending the event please RSVP to
ssumner at natureandscience.org.  The event is free and open to the
public if any friends or family would like to tag along (standard
admission to the galleries will still apply for events inside the
museum proper).
