Re: Robots in hometown parades
This year we took our old (and partly torn apart for parts) 2009 robot to one of our towns Mardi Gras parades. We are from Louisiana, there are several parades a week in February and March, not even getting into the New Orleans ones. Since it was on short notice and during one of the last weeks of build season, we just put the robot in the back of my-car-turned-ghetto-Mardi-Gras-float. Although he didn't run, people still liked seeing a robot covered in beads. We think we are going to do it next year (with way more beads because people are crazy about it) but I am a little worried about driving a robot down a 5 mile Mardi Gras parade route.
