Further PDX notes:
We've created a screen print of the graphic @jden made stickers of so we can DIY screen print whatever. Bring your own t-shirt, jacket, chassis, etc.
We will also be setting up a kids room with robot-related activities for kids (simple robot kits, etc). This way parents can come on a Saturday with the youngin's. Worth noting, this is not "child care", just a dedicated room for kids and an open-door attitude towards parents.
Also, I'll be at OSCON all next week, and will be promoting the heck out of the event, so hopefully our numbers will escalate due to the large amount of FOSS folks in town for the conf.
Also, in our hardware order, along w/ 35 kits, we got a bunch of extra bits and pieces, some mustache stickers, and one big cool thing.. which is all the parts to make a BRAT Jr., eg this: http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/WZkn5/show/light/ ... Going to try to get it built and run @rwaldrn 's ED code!
We're super excited!
