[Robotgroup] Robot Group Logo.. is it ours??

[Leslie Filip]

It would be a great first step to pin down the exact origin of and  
first use of the logo regardless of what this other group is using.  
Also, as a fan of da Vinci, I have seen similar works derived from  
the original for years, everything from gardeners to cyclists to  
whatever else. It is not surprising that another robot related group  
could think up the same basic thing without ever having seen the  
robot group logo. Sorry to be Mr. Poo-Poo here.
