Re: Demos--What do you do?

The craziest demo we have ever done, by far, was running our robot under it's own power in a 5k "fun run". It made it about 2k before running out of juice, at which point it went on a dolly and was pushed the rest of the way. We had to have quite a few people on all sides of it, presidential motorcade style, to insure the saftey of other runners. We also kept to the back where the crowd was really thin. I think we proved how durable the thing was...
