Poster-Making Robot
EPCOT Center had a robot arm that painted portraits, in the late eighties/early nineties. I bought a robot-painted portrait of me, but left it on the double-decker bus in World Showcase.
Now I want to make something like this poster-making robot made out of printer parts and an old Roomba.
What Penguicon needs is an annual Hack Of Honor-- a live-and-in-person D.I.Y. Imagineering exhibit that makes conventions fun. We're not going to get Makers to pack up and bring their stuff without helping them.
P.S. I won "Funniest Costume" at Blasted Bill's annual Halloween Bash last night for "Misinformed Time Traveler".

Most awesome idea I've heard in a long time. I hope you do this!
(What was the costume? I like the title already...)

An Arthurian Crusader outfit and a ray gun.

That's cool!
One of the parties we went to had (sort of) a "murder" theme -- so I came as the victim, in a tux with a sword hilt sticking out of my chest.

I also support the HoH idea and will do what I can to actively support it/make it happen.
P.S. my roommate is making a roomba mod to look like the cleaning robots in Farscape!
