I got a request from an organizer of the Maker Faire to try and find a robotics event that they could host May 30-31, 2009 at the San Mateo County Expo Center. For those that don't know, it's a giant expo for people who build stuff to show off and meet others. It is way cool.
Are teams interested in having some sort of FIRST event there? They'll have a large room and power, but that's about it. Someone would need to provide the field and everyone else would bring robots. Actually, I bet they'd be happy with just robots even if no field was there.
If there is a quorum, I can let the organizer know to start making the relevant preparations.
