Title: Admin in Japan, March 2010, RoboOne (anyone around?)
Post by: Admin on February 20, 2010, 02:28:54 AM

I'm planning a trip to Japan from mid to late March, and will definitely go see RoboOne during that time.

Anyone else going?

Anyone with a guest room at their house for poor 'ol admin and his beautiful evil assistant? (cough cough) :P

I haven't quite figured that part out yet. My beautiful evil assistant has been to Japan four times already, so I need to make sure not to bore her by going to places she's already been, or dragging her to too many robot events :P

If you decide to see the Southern end of the country let me know.  I live on the island of Kyushu.  There is a lot to do and see around the Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto area.  Also, if you find yourself in Fukuoka, you might like to check out Robo Square:

Its official!

I'll be generally AWOL in Japan for the next 20 days.

And it'll probably take another week to catch back up . . .

I filled up 2.5 GB of camera memory card at RoboOne, and drained two batteries before the final round . . .

Nothing incredibly amazing, but still fun video to watch. I'll get up pics and video when I'm back home in Bangkok. Like 2 more weeks . . .

I just got back from my 16 day trip.

After I answer a billion emails in my mail box, I'll get back to finishing up the SoR contest and answering robot questions.

Apologies for going AWOL!
