<DIV>For all who were unable to attend:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Tanner Expo Event / DPRG Talent Show at Tanner Electronics was a
big success.</DIV>
<DIV>A big thanks to Martin Meier for brining the contest course and to Dale
Wheat for helping out in running the contest. Also, John Drummond for use of his
PA system and for bringing his canopy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Will showed off both his 4 and 6 legged walking robots -- very cool.</DIV>
<DIV>Dale's robot had human emotions -- very cool.</DIV>
<DIV>James' robot has a sonar turret with an eye chart? Maybe that is to show to
Chris' robot that can see?</DIV>
<DIV>Ron's robot balanced surprisingly well for not being tuned after 9
months with new motors. </DIV>
<DIV>Glenn did not attempt to stand on his robot, Snugglebot. I suspect fear of
shedding MORE blood. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A nice number of folks showing off robots.</DIV>
<DIV>From DPRG the members showing off robots by my recollection -- who
did I miss?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry no robot names.</DIV>
