[Robotgroup] When is first dorkbot of the year? Second week of march!

[David Nunez]

In the January 2007 issue, Wired magazine mentions dorkbot-austin as  
the host to the most dorkbot attendees in the nation!  Congrats to  
all of us.

Make: magazine chose Austin as the second location for Maker Faire  
<http://www.makerfaire.com> -- robots, explosions, crafts, and makers  
all converging on the Travis County Fairgrounds...

Wow!  This is going to be one amazing year here in Austin.

So let's keep the geekitude going...  The first dorkbot of the year  
is only a month away (there is NOT a dorkbot on Feb 8, contrary to  
popular belief).

We're planning on kicking off the year with something appropriately  
huge.   Very, very awesome and not to be missed.  (we'll need some  
help... see below)

Our site has been updated with the year's schedule and a blog we'll  
be using to post many resources that will be of interest to the  
dorkbot community.
