[Robotgroup] [Fwd: FW: Robofest Name]

[Vern Graner]

I mentioned at last Thursday's meeting that I had run into folks 
involved with Robofest while I was attending Robogames in San Francisco.

Here's the latest.. Seems these folks are not the ones holding the only 
Robofests now. This is good in that it seems that the current holders of 
"robofest.net" haven't appeared to try and quash these guys. This bodes 
well for us being able to hold an event under that name if we would like 
to. :)

Thanks for the heads up Steve.  Our event is officially called "RoboFest
Hawaii", so there is a slight difference in the name.  I would not
object to any other Robofests taking place - as there is another
Robofest that I know of: http://www.robofest.net/
