[Robotgroup] Dorkbot?

[LHudson]

What is/was the Arduino SIG?  I missed it as my wife and I were among those driven away by the Furby choir, which wasn't really a choir.  It was just six Furbies miked up to a sound system that violated the noise ordinance by about 500 dBs.  One of which was sleeping the entire time for some reason.
   
  Before his presentation the inventor declared that he had hooked up a potentiometer to each Furby.  I could not for the life of me figure out why.

I think the "freezing freezing cold" scared off a lot of folks.

Our acts were nicely diverse, this time. (and our final act, the 
furby youth choir, scared / annoyed the hell out of half the crowd 
who promptly were driven away).

Chase Hammocks internet pod -- nice and polished. Really amazing setup.

Ward Christies VR/Cam Backpack setup was a hit... a lot of audience 
interaction.

JohnF did an amazing presentation -- his AV was extremely appropriate 
and added quite a bit to his project (short snippets of video that he 
talked over).

Marvin was there with some new biomechanicals (I really am afraid to 
see what his house looks like), and announced a performance of 
screaming baby heads on Dec 1 at Scoot Inn.

The Arduino SIG drew about 8 people and there was definite interest 
for followup (probably at a venue where we can all work on projects 
together.)

Looking forward to the holiday break to regroup and get ready for 
dorkbot in january.

Whee!
