That way we learn how to develop robots that can be reprogrammed while in the field (where the field could be the lunar surface)</p>

Will a wee bit of assistance from his dad, he was able to do the project 99% on his own. He was SO proud to complete the project and can't wait to share his game with his friends at school. THANK YOU for attending the festival and for sharing your love of science with the kids!</p>

What types of things are you interested in? Outdoorsy stuff, seeing breweries, shopping? If you give me some ideas of what you are looking for, I can definitely make some recommendations!</p>

DC and was fortunate enough to meet Nate at OH/DC then I assisted at the National Electronics Museum booth on Sat & Sun at USASEF. I could see the Sparkfun booth and the throngs of people talking to the Sparkfun folks and waiting patiently for the soldering school. How many burgeoning hackers did you run through there? Great job Sparkfun!</p>

I found sparkfun to be the highlight (other than the mythbusters, Space X and parallax) of the fair</p>

Congrats and bravo to everyone involved in making it happen! I enjoyed talking with Nate and the staff over it.<p>May I make a suggestion for a silly video for the recap?</p><p>For the FINAL race with the 40-pin headers, please have someone commentate it with this song: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXuXBLlfxRo&feature=related" rel="nofollow">NFL Primetime Song 1</a></p><p>For people who can't view Youtube, it's the "NFL Primetime Song 1."</p></p>
