Looks like both my kids and the wife and I will be there. They probably  
won't stay the whole time though, but the kids are anxious to talk about  
their robots.

I can't edit the spreadsheet. Maybe I am not supposed to edit?

I am planning to bring 4 small robots (my Makey bot, plus 3 coaster bots).  
I am considering bringing my 3d printer as well, and laptop, so I can  
work-on/print a new chassis for the coaster bot. I know that EVERYONE  
brings a 3D printer to these things, but I really just want to multi-task  
and get some work done as well as hang out at the booth... so shoot me. Do  
we have power at the fair? Lots of outlets or should we bring power strips?  
If I am bringing that, I might as well throw in my nerd kit with an arduino  
or two, sensors, etc. That way, if anyone wants to do some hacking on the  
spot...

I might have a large enough pile of stuff that it would be nice to unload  
at the site. Hopefully I can reserve some space in the car that is parking  
close by.

Bill, Can you tell us what we have in terms of power, table space, etc. Is  
there internet?
