[Robotgroup] Fwd: Wells Branch Science Fair

[Don Colbath]

To some degree I will disagree with Vadim.  The first science fair I 
ever went to was held in an auditorium/arena in Albuquerque that had 
just had a major atomic power symposium and had things as distracting as 
the Kiwi NERVA nuclear rocket engine, models of power plants and some of 
the first "real" robots I had ever seen like the MOBOT.   Many of these 
have been places for folks like GE and Motorola to do a little show off 
and inspire kids to want to do greater things.  Besides, I'm busy 
Tuesday too.
