It was a really fun night, thanks so much to Josh Kopel for organizing!
 Some pics below.
Obviously people have plenty of robot vomit for projects, we'll definitely
be doing more of these.

> vomit" to make the building more interesting. (i.e. metal and plastic
> wheels, gears and other parts, working electronics components, colorful
> shiny glowy things, and anything else you think might enhance your
> creation.)  You never know what may get destroyed, so leave the expensive

>  Also bring any tools that you have to help put the thing together.

> RSVP by sending "shelly, I'll be there with my 5$ for supplies" at

> Schedule:

> 8:00-10:30, workshop, performance, tear-down, clean up.
