It's finally here, O heavens, it's

The DorkBot Swap meet and RoboGames Play Day!!
June 15th, 16, and 17th, 2007
At RoboGames
Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion
San Francisco, California 94123

For RoboGames Tickets, go to http://www.robogames.net

We grabbed on to a half-baked idea and filled it with tasty custard.
And resistors.  Anyway.

DorkBot Swap Meet and RoboGames Play Day is simple.

This is the swap part:
Bring your old electronics, gadgets, and other junk that you would
like to swap.  Swap it with someone else who has also brought *their*
old electronic junk to swap.

Drive in with a truck full of clean electronics crap, come away with a
truck and a half full of cool stuff. Emerge with a bright new
understanding of this thing called "Community".  This event is free
with admission to RoboGames, but if you just want to drop stuff off,
we'll take it.

This is the Play Day part:
If you were at MakerFaire, you will have noticed that the superlative
Michael Shiloh and his friend Wayne put together a utopia of tools,
bits of equipment, glue and other stuff so you, the participant, could
cobble together all sort of exciting contraptions.  This is what we
are doing at RoboGames!

Get rid of that roomba you cannibalized for parts, those cables that
have been taking up space under your desk, that printer that choked on
its own vomit and died, and contribute it to RoboGames Play Day!  You
will delight countless children and their very happy parents who may
now drink delicious beer in peace while Junior is roughing up that old
laptop.

We are accepting donation for Swap Meet and Play Day space at these
times: Wednesday, June 13, 9am-9pm
Thursday, June 14th 9am-9pm
Friday June 15th 9am-Noon

If you are coming to RoboGames anyway and would like to bring stuff
with you to swap, arrangements can be made.

The Dorkbot Swap Meet takes place June 15th, 16th and 17th, 12
Noon-6pm Friday, 12 Noon-10 pm Saturday and Sunday.

All events are free with RoboGames admission.

If you have any questions please contact Simone at combots.net or
Michael at michaelshiloh.com

Thanks!
