[Robotgroup] CON Jobs :)

[Def Egge]

You know, we need a ConBot.  One that can con money out of the humanoids it
meets along the way.

On a serious note, the folks at EFF and FACT have mentioned that they might
be interested in collaborating to make another RoboFest.  They would take
care of the administration.  We would take care of the content.  No one has
discussed the split of the gate money.

Bring in enough dealers / vendors, charge a reasonable fee (better yet, let
the administrators handle all of the sales and charge a percentage of the
take...no sales for your stuff? no fee [don't invite those slugs back next
time]).

Of course, the burn-out factor will probably drive us to extinction.  ;-)


All the best....

Mike
