I question why the name of the group ever had such a focus on 
"Robot"
when it  was and is a general arts and technology group. Can any of
the old timers explain what they were thinking when they came up 
with
this name? It was mentioned at the ***non-RobotGroup sanctioned***
event known as RoboRetreat a year ago, but I can not recall the 
answer.

Don Colbath can tell the tale better than I can since he was involved 
then but here goes:

There were several groups working on exhibits at the now-defunct 
Discovery Hall.  The group which spawned us was referred to by the 
other groups as "The Robot Group" ... hence, our moniker.
