[Robotgroup] Blockheads for First Night? (Was Detect the Rink. Re: Drive a Droid proposal)

[brooksdesign]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll checkout all the details and see what I can come up with. My main worry is their habit of waiting till the very last minute to pay. I always had to go into huge debt for RoboFests and hope at the end of the year they would cough up the bucks.

By the way I have been cleaning them up after posting the new video http://wiki.therobotgroup.org/wiki/BlockHeads and was thinking of donating them to the group for use in outreach events, especialy if someone wanted to convert them to RC and cut the cords.
