> Hello presenters for dorkbot6!

> Thank you.  Thank you.  THANK YOU.
>
> I can't tell you how excited, nervous, and proud I am about  
> tomorrow's dorkbot.
>
> Each of you, I feel, is going to have an awesome time and will get  
> the chance to talk with hundreds if not a thousand or so  
> enthusiastic fellow-geeks; I also have no doubt that you will blow  
> some minds with your tremendous work.
>
> There are a few more logistical details to pass along.
>
> We visited the tent again today and some good news:  It now has  
> walls, so it's wonderfully dark in there - things like projections  
> and tesla coils will show up nicely.  There is a floor covering now  
> that smoothes out some of the dirt patches from before... Not  
> exactly a frictionless surface, but plenty good for robots.

> We are not "allowed" to unload until 4:00PM, but I would actually  
> recommend trying to get to the park as early as possible in the  
> day.  We will be "urging" the SxSW staff to let us into the area  
> before 4:00.   At the very least, you can get all of your unloading  
> done ahead of time.  Those 2 hours of "prep" will go by really,  
> really fast.
>
> We have a large team of volunteers who will be assisting you with  
> anything you need during setup.  Please don't hesitate to ask them  
> for help.
>
> Schedule (we may shift the actual show up 15 or so minutes if there  
> is a good crowd early on)
>

> I've also attached a preliminary layout of the space (once we see  
> how everything "fits" we may need to adjust this) and also a map  
> showing the park location and the location of city hall (which has  
> free parking).  You will be able to unload your vehicles on the  
> neches side of the park and can park for free at the city hall  
> parking garage.
