It's up and running in Kidron, OH

This is one of the largest donuts I've ever seen! (QuickStart included for perspective)

Only one donut was harmed in production of this photo.

    Yes! We need an East coast get together.

    Everything is a little too far to travel.

    I only had half a donut, I didn't want to shock my system! I had a great time there. Kudos Jeff! I'm already looking forward to next year's expo.

    Looking forward to seeing some pics or video from the event. I know there were some robot contests on the docket.

    I occasionally visit in-laws in OH near Cincy, I'll have to try to coordinate visits next year. I'd drive the 200 miles just to hang out with Jeff & Rick!

    WHAT A BLAST!

    The show was able to cover it's expenses this year with enough to reserve the facility for next year! We'll be announcing next year's expo within the next month!

    More details, photos and expo reports are starting to come in on the tail of the official expo thread.

    Bryan and I are establishing the date for 2014 this month. You'll have plenty of time ot plan ahead. We're looking at the 15-16th of August 2014. (To be comfirmed)

    BTW, more pics and videos are being added to the official thread this morning.

    I have a feeling the surprise would be for ME when i got home!!

    It could be that Amish Birthday party she never knew she wanted after a couple weeks at Amish Summer Camp.

    Great news Jeff. I can't wait until next year's expo. hmmmm how about moving it to Aug 24 of this year :)? Just joking.... You need a long break to recover from the craziness, besides I vow to bring a completed project and I need at least a year to get it done.

    Just reached out to Bryan who is making contact with the location today. We're looking at the following week. There is NO WAY we are going to let one of core group miss this if at all possible.

    NO pressure on me in 2014! :lol:

    Of course, if you did have it on 8/16/14 and I went, the 2015 Expo could be the "Mindrobots Memorial Expo"!!
