For all you dedicated doers of strange thins with electricity, I humbly
present you the offer of tickets to the INTERNATIONAL ROBOGAMES, taking
place June 13-15th, 2008.

To anyone who emails me personally and drops the super secret codeword
"Dorkbot", tickets to RoboGames, which are usually $20 adult, $15 kids
7-17, will be FIVE DOLLARS OFF (ooOOOooh!).

RoboGames is three solid days of non-stop 70-event robot mayhem. We have
hockey bots, kung fu androids, soccer bots, autonomous firefighters, art
bots, bartending bots, robomagellans, robo-sumo, Tetsujin,  340-pound
superheavyweight fighting robot action (in our BRAND NEW ARENA,
guaranteed to *probably* not get anyone killed!) and strap the kids down
and break out the jello shots, Martha, because once again we have
Flash-O-Matic the Human Weather Pattern operating the 240cc Flaming V-8
Blender, maker of the world's most dangerous blended beverages!

Come for the robots, stay for the beer and steam-ironed hot dogs!

For list of all 82 events at this Olympics of Robottery, plus photos,
videos, schematics and contact info, see http://www.RoboGames.net

Shoot me an email (simone at qbox dot org) with the number of tickets
you want to buy, and say You Saw It At Dorkbot!

The Illustrious Jonathan Foote will have jogged your memories tonight at
Dorkbot about this FABULOUS ONCE A YEAR OFFER, which contains no trans
fats, is 100% organic (chemistry), and proven to make small children
want to be scientists when they grow up.  Hell, this event is so sweet,
it makes FULLY GROWN ENGINEERS want to be scientists when they grow up!

Order now, operator is standing by!

P.S. Also, if you have a particularly neat piece that you have been
working on and want to show off, come take part in the Robot Open.  It's
free, you get a pas to the show for all three days plus an invite to the
Servo VIP party Friday night the 13th.  Also, you'll get endless oohing
and ahhing over your stuff, and you can bask in the light of like-
minded people.  People who have lots and lots and lots of free beer.
Contact me for deets and keep in mind that larger, sturdier things tend
to do better than the tiny and the fragile, though we welcome both.
