Alan Kilian brought his Trippy robot and a motor controller test bed.	Jeff Sampson btought a demo of the OpenCV image processing libraries.	Here the facedetect demo found Dennis Dierks looking at the camera.	Bob Proctor has his stepper motor board running. Here it has a small motor.
Here it has a larger motor.	It has a position mode.	And a speed mode.	Ron Jesme has a new helicopter. This one has one more blade than his last one.
He cut all these balsa pieces by hand.	It has these tiny little motors.	Another view of the helicopter.	Yet another view.
Rob Turner brought his RoboCities stacker robot.	Picking up a tri-block.	Driving to the wall.	Extending the arm.
Top block lined up with the bottom block.	Setting the block in place.	And that's how it is done...	Bruce Shapiro explains that it has to be completed by November to present it at the Science Museum conference.
Dean Longsyo did some magic tricks.	Bill Arden brought some photos of the Art Car parade and some big mylar resistors.	This is a mylar resistor used for radient floor heating.	Bill also brought some plastic plates he cut on his laser cutter.
People assembled the plastic plates and Bruce's stepper motors.	They worked feverishly because it was time to leave.	Lots of nuts and bolts.	A front view.
Side view.	Back view.	Another front view.	Bill also brought his Sucks robot.
Later at Applebee's, Bruce expressed doubt that RobT would get his RoboCities woking by November. So Rob made this sign to document it.
