The Robotics Society of America is a non-profit robotics enthusiasts' group dedicated to making the mechanical arts and sciences accessible to people of all ages, intelligences and enthsiasms.

The Robot Games is the club's biannual festival. Qbox will have a presence there, as well as will NASA, builders from Battlebots (tm), and The Seemen. There will be antweight robotic combat, sumo robot competitions, and multiple other opportunities to which you can subject your blisteringly time- and expense- consuming little stainless steel bundle of joy to abject humiliation and destruction, all complete with smarmy game show host.

There will also be many beautifully configured artistic masses of metal which will show off their abilities. Some will occasionally allow you to press their buttons, even.

"Art That Moves II" will be the second show in the festival. Coming at the end of October to complement our previous show "Art That Moves", "Art That Moves II" will feature performances by the EroShambo Erotic Robot Cabaret, about which much has been and can be said. In their own words, "WARNING- THIS IS NOT A SIMULATION!!! You'll never look your vacuum cleaner in the face again!!" They can be found at http://www.omnicircus.com.

In addition to the artists already showing, there will be an enticing assemblage of other artists in the machine medium from all over the Bay Area. Rania Ho, Jesse Jackson, Frank Garvey, Donna Keiko Ozawa, Shirley Shor, Jonathan Foote, Kal Spelletich, Kimberlee Koym, Steve Lambert, Tom McCall, Alex Killough Will Eccleston, Jojo LaPlume and David Morely are but a small sample of the artists that tickle, shock, annoy, illuminate and engage through the charming and sometimes disturbing interactivity of their art.
