Since I know some of you actually take that "bot" think in Dorkbot
seriously... in case you plan to drive down to SF for the RoboGames:

Hey there fellow nerds,

I was scheduled to speak tonight on the wonders of robots and the
things we like to do with them (pour beer, blow stuff up, look under
skirts and utilikilts), but for a variety of completely unappetizing
reasons, I got nothin.

Nothing, that is, except for the KILLER DORKBOT ROBOGAMES TICKET SPECIAL.

I can *feel* your excitement.

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!

-Simone

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.
