[Robotgroup] Dorkbot last night

[brooksdesign]

Hey guys,
  how about having pre-recorded demos on DVD or print up some cheap cards with a list of links to them on a website. I did that a little bit with my stamped metal cards at Makerfair last year and it seemed to help people or at least me from having to explain the details 10milion times a day.
  At one of the 3 dorkbots I have had the fortune of attending I was thinking about how a tiny close focus camera hooked up to the big screen would be very helpfull in showing the details of the smaller stuff like circuits and servo linkages.
