[Robotgroup] SXSW

[Denise Scioli]

If you get there during set up, you will easily get in.  Also, I think a Robot Group badge will help, or wearing the Robot Group T-Shirt.

I usually get a all-access pass by volunteer a boat load of hours, and I could go to just about anything.  But, I usually just went to the movie events and a select few of the other events.  Thousands of choices!  (I am avoiding all but the RG events this year).  I noticed that the Dorkbot Event was a choice event, highly touted!
