Unfortunately no congressperson showed up, although many sent staffers.
We invited our Representative, Congressman Frelinghuysen, and he came for the first 45 minutes or so and really loved watching the robots - in particular FRC. I also know that a representative from New Hampshire and a senator from Hawaii showed up. Our congressman told us that the reason a lot of people could not come was because of the funeral for a congresswoman in California that afternoon. And there were certainly a good number of staffers. I'd say it was largely succesful.
