[Robotgroup] RFC: TRG Video Projector?

[Vern Graner]

Ok, so we have had (and it seems will continue to have!) projects and 
events in the future that would benefit from having a video projector 
available to us. Though I do have a pretty good PA system, I don't have 
a very good projector (rather dim output and only 640x480x256 color).

So, it occurred to me that we could probably get some good use out of a 
portable video projector. Not only for projecting videos at events, but 
for gust speakers to bring presentations, for RG members to show 
software (like the droid quest at pokejos) and also to facilitate 
playing classic movies for a robo-fun night (forbidden planet? 2001?) :)

Entry level projectors have come down in price enough that the group 
itself could afford to purchase one for group events. Ones like this for 
example:

Thoughts?
