COJUG - The Central Ohio Java Users Group has meetings the 2nd Tuesday of the month at OCLC.
The demo's went OK. I had problems with the transport of the robot, since it weighs about 200+lb and with WindowsXP Home, which the robot was running. I think the PC was too slow for all the graphics that needed to be done, it also ran out of battery power about 90 minutes into the second demo. About 60 minutes in WindowsXP home started consuming 100% CPU utilization, not sure why this happened...
Other than those things, everyone really seemed to enjoy watching the robot and learning other things about Java.
