[Robotgroup] Basic Stamp Success

[Denise Scioli]

And, Scott, I remember you asking about "Is this the portion for asking questions" when the video was over.  I think that it wasn't noticed as that was what you were wanting, rather, I think Vern didn't realize that.  Am I right?  I just got to thinking about this just now.  We always want questions, questions mean that thinking is involved, and I think your questions would have been perfect last night!
