The Robot Group was out in full geek-force to attend Dorkbot in November. We have pictures here and here! This event was extra special as we were able to show the progress of the RoboSpinArt machine. The machine had just been a concept and a buch of scribbles at a previous meeting and now it was ready to sling paint. We had LOTS of bots out and lots of Robofolk showed up to help and join in the fun.
