[Robotgroup] Dorkbot last night

[mlists at resistive.net]

Hey Andre,

Glad you had a good time, I thought last night ended up being great.  It
was a kind of "musical themed" dorkbot and a bit uncommon, I agree about
the presentations being a bit packed in a brief.  I've been pushing to do
more technical type presentations but Mundi where we normally do it
doesn't really lend itself to more technical-in-depth presentations, and
we have a hard time turning people away if more than a few are interested
in showing off their stuff.  I promise that there's an advocate for more
in-depth technical-type dorkbot presentations in the group :)
