RoboCon 2008- Saturday's Log

When we got to the Robot Room this morning there were about 15 people standing there waiting for us to get the robots up and running. As the the day worn on it was again a flood of people. Greg had been playing around with the Interactive B9 software and developed some very cool phrases and began to have a little fun with the people in a game we called..."Name the Robot". The phrases Greg put together were sound bites from other famous Robots and B9Greg would announce that he did "impressions" and the the audience would have to guess the name of the Robot that B9Greg was doing. The people really got into it and several of these sessions we had about 20 people trying to guess the Robots. Greg had everything including R2D2 and C3PO, W.O.P.R., Robert the Robot, HAL and Colossus. As the night wore on, Greg and I developed a loose comedy dialog between our Robots that was really entertaining.

B9Greg mesmerizing the audience with his impressions....















We had some very well known "Stars" stop by and get their pictures taken with the robots today...

Dark Vader stopped by....












Holy Badguys, The Batman's Villans came to spread trouble













And even Santa couldn't resist a picture with the B9 Robot!!


After we closed the room, those that wanted to came over to my home and had dinner and then visited into the night. It was great to renew old friendships and to make new ones. I hope we can all meet next year.....
