[Robotgroup] SXSW/EFF/Dorkbot make ready

[Vern Graner]

Ok folks that whooshing sound you hear is the deadline approaching for 
Dorkbot & the EFF/SXSW party! :)

I need some voluntolds.. er.. volunteers to help get some of the things 
ready to go. David Nunez requested for Dorkbot:

1) Robospinart
2) Sandraw
3) Ping Pong Printer

and for plutopia, Bon Davis requested:

1) Glamor Girl/ Gatorgirl
2) RoboSpinArt
3) PingPongPrinter

These are the only items that have been requested by name *so far*. This 
does not mean other items won't be requested. However, I need some help 
in the make-ready dept.

As Mike will be happy to tell you, last year, Glamor girl was not well 
enough insulated to prevent someone from being hit with a bit of a 
"tickle" if they touched the wrong portion. We need to get her fixed up 
so she can be displayed w/o danger of a "Zap" to the audience.

Also, Gator girl's eye mechanism has become detached inside the head 
unit. In order for her to peer around suspiciously, the head needs to be 
opened and the eye pan/tilt mech repaired.

The RoboSpinArt is (pretty much) ready to go as is the Sandraw machine 
(maybe a bit of work on the lights). The PingPongPrinter is getting a 
hopper upgrade from Rick, but also should be done in time (Comments 
Rick?). :)

So, what I need is someone to take on the two girls (Glam and Gator) to 
get them ready for the shows. Anyone? Buhler? Anyone? :)
