[Robotgroup] A makerfair must: robo thespian

[Glenn Currie]

All,

I saw the Robot Group on the evening news.  Good work.

I might have to see this robo thespian gizmo.

I have had a lot to deal with lately.  I wish I had more time for robot 
work.

I have not given up all forms of obsessive behavior.  I have a used TV 
station
microwave "remote broadcast"  van that I am restoring.  It has a 6kw 
generator,
and a 42' pneumatic mast.  I will have to drive it to one of the RG 
gatherings.

One of the neighbors could not resist asking what the van was "for". I 
did my
best Clint Eastwood look and replied, "surveillance".

Maybe some day they will learn to stop asking questions.

Cheers,

-Glenn
