I neglected to mention that we need this by 6/15 or we cannot
guarantee that we will discuss your entry. 
BTW for those in the exhibition, while time precludes us from
giving a detailed description of your demo,  we would like to mention
your exhibit, so if you can forward me an image of your robot and
a one-line name/description we'll try and fit it in. Thanks! - Ron

 > It should include:
 >    approach: brief statement (bullets) of how you are solving the problem
 >    research content: what AI is being used and folks should be able to see
 >    architectural design
 >    robot photograph (in lieu of hardware description) but send Jim and me
 >       a description anyway in text.
 >    any other relevant things that the audience should look out for or 
 >     points that you are trying to make with your entry (intellectual points
 >      not scoring points :-).
 > 
 > If you can whip something up in Powerpoint that'd be ideal - but we'll
 > try and handle text submissions as well.
 > This is your chance to educate the audience as to what is really going on - 
 > please help us help you.

 > Send the info to both arkin@cc.gatech.edu and firby@cs.uchicago.edu.
