Try making a presentation kit and just leave it in a box and bring it everywhere; be sure to include extension cord, power strip, battery charger, robot battery(ies), speakers for a laptop if you are doing powerpoint, basic props, business cards, buttons, and anything else you like to always present.
ALWAYS bring a tether cable... there is nothing better than running from a city council meeting to your school and back to get a long ethernet cable just so you can show off the the community! What we think happened was something with the city's wireless cameras and wifi were messing with our communications.
