[Robotgroup] Piece Signs! :)

[Vern Graner]

I'm glad Bob brought this up, as I've been intending to do so. To reiterate:

The 8.5" x 11" single-sheet write ups on our pieces are all located here:

http://www.robotgroup.net/piecesigns/

You will need Open Office WRITER to edit / view these. It is a free 
download available here:

http://www.openoffice.org

There is a folder entitled "A_WithPics" where I have started the process 
of converting each sign by removing The Robot Group logo in the top 
right corner and replacing it with a "beauty shot" of the work.

This is both to make it easier for a casual observer to discover which 
piece the text describes but also is the first step in creating a 
printable "portfolio" of Robot Group creations.

I plan to put together a single PDF doc that we can give out to folks 
that ask about what we have, how much space it takes, how much power it 
takes and any special considerations (noise, flames etc).

So boys and girls, your homework is to help compile piece signs for any 
items we show, but that I don't yet have a writeup for.:)

Also, I'd like to setup a "matrix" of sorts that has the details of each 
piece and it's operation. The chart would look something like this and 
would be present for every piece sign:
