[Robotgroup] New Subscriber! :)

[Marvin Niebuhr]

To you all, I joined the ROBOT GROUP as a musician and visual artist inorder 
to robotize my work. I was delighted to find the group composed of wide 
variety of extremely talented technical people with varying specialties and 
not focused just on pure robotics. With the Basic Stamp class at our 
meetings, I will be able to apply the principles of robotics to my Screamin' 
Babyhead Band. The group really works for me and especially Vern's 
enthusiasms and support.  Shall we change our name to Robot Group/Assholes, 
Freaks and More? Hey Brooks, what do you think?  Marvin
