We have been disussing setting up a booth area to show off our robots and also have a small airsoft robot arena to battle in So far we have Bret , myself and Alequa my brother coming. I made this thread so we are not discussing things off topic on others. Here is trossens arena for ideas but we can make ours different.
Keepvid is a great idea, particularly if you are not yet sure about Internet access. If you have Powerpoint, you can do a slide-show with embedded videos. I haven't tried it yet, but I imagine the free Google Docs presentation tool or Libre Office presentation tool could also do that.

I believe that's what I will do then , just save the video to play live from a PC. Would be nice if I could get it in a format my TV could read like mpeg 4 so all I gotta do it plug my SD card into my Panasonic 42 inch and hit play ;p no PC would be required and would save me money.
Any suggestions on specific videos to play? Perhaps DJ or Alan could just allow be to download copies instead of going through the trouble of saving from YouTube and converting the video. I'm sure there will be quality losses there.
I was about to suggest asking Alan or DJ to see if they could send you them in a much better format. However, I view them all on my 37" TV and they are OK and, depending on what was uploaded you can get good quality downloads, I've saved 720p youtube videos with keepvid.
Specific videos? Personally I'd go through all of the video tutorials for the controls in ARC, they are what drew me towards the product.
OK so keepvid saves the video in .FLV format so I will need to convert it to .MP4 for my 42" Panasonic Vieira TV SD card slot
Scratch that , apparently my TV supports Divx format through the SD card.
Inventory for the event so far
Things I need to collect or borrow 4 folding tables White table cloths 2 to 3 computers 2 mice Ext cords and at least 2 power strips
The monitors and TV I will literally screw down to the tables , no one can walk off with one , the computers will have cable locks , I also found decorative stands excellent for displaying the EZ Robot kit in the box
Wow Josh, are you going to be driving a U-Haul? With all your bots and stuff that's a lot of stuff! I sure wish I could make it.
