Help Austrian Cocktailrobots travel to San Francisco's RoboGames June 2007!

Austrians have an 8 year tradition of building cocktail-mixing and serving robots, like

and robots with other achievements in the sector of modern cocktailculture, like

Since RoboGames are featuring a "bartending"-category the third year now, and it has come to our knowledge that the competition isn't exactly going tough, as the only competing bot so far was the RoboGames' founder's ...
we (the people doing the annual Cocktailrobotics-festival ROBOEXOTICA) want to bring a couple of the local pieces (and their makers) over to S.F. - and wherever else we can get the travel-costs covered, so that Californians too can enjoy a rich cocktailrobotic environment.

If we get around $1000,- we'll send an emissary to promote cocktailrobotic values and represent Austrian efforts in the field.
Between 2000,- and 5000,- will provide for a scalable delegation with robots being sent over.

UPDATE: It's definite now: we're going! An invitation to Maker Faire mid-may pays for two tickets.
Thanks for your donations so far - they are helping to pay for the transport costs of the bots we are taking.
