[Robotgroup] Hello from Maker Faire! :)

[Andre Lamothe]

Cool. Looks kinda low attendance, these pics where just during setup I hope! 
Also, if they have the HYDRA and XGS Pico setup at the MAKE store can you 
take a couple pics for my web archive?

Thanks,

Andre'

So I'm sitting here by the pool in San Mateo... freezing my but off! :)
Its about 51 degrees and the crosswind here is chilling me big time. I'm
down here cause the WIFI doesn't reach to our room so I have to come
down here. Anyway, circumstances being what they are I'm gunna make this
short.. A few notables:

1) The new Maker Faire poster features the PONGINATOR in "8-bit" style

2) The Poster also has the ping pong printer shown! :)

3) Adam Savage from Mythbusters was here and we got an autograph and he
ended up with a couple of Ping Pong Printer printed Ping Pong balls (I
didn't bring the printer, just some of the left over balls) Check his
left hand in the photo w/Nic & Sami.. he's holding them!

( heh! lots of good jokes there.. or not so good jokes.. ;)

4) I'm freezing and I'll try to caption and type more stuff tomorrow. we
open first thing! ;)

So, for now, here's the link to a few of the pictures:
