Re: What kind of robot to build for a convention?
Depending on the audience, you might want to simply make a "flashy bot" that does cute little stuff, like petbot, or dances to preset music with arms that wave and a body that spins.
Given you have not limits, you could essentially build whatever you want with all the noise makers, size, and lights you can fit on it. Have the robot talk like #6 in that movie, forgot the name, where it becomes sentient. You could build a face with servos and pneumatics and have it explain itself to curios viewers, occasionally getting "bored" and singing or something.
What ever you do, have fun with it. If you are enjoying your selves, the audience will be all that happier.

Darn, I got into this for the battles!
