http://www.robotgroup.net/eric/ArmadilloNews/ArmadilloNewsLogo.jpg A small independent film company [http://www.themanagementproductions.com/ The Management Productions] asked the Robot Group if we had a robotic head that they could use in their movie.  The BabblingHead was working and available so we agreed.  The film is called Armadillo News and follows the antics of a High School journalism class.

Update: Armadillo News will be shown at the Texas Union Theater on Saturday May 22 at 8pm.  It is then expected to open to the public in October at the 2004 Austin Film Festival.
