= Odom Elementary 2005 =
EricLundquist was invited to the 5th grade classes at Odom Elementary.  He rounded up the "usual robo-suspects" including: BabblingHead, P5Glove, RobotGlove, CatherineTheCreative, and the [http://www.compubotics.com/cmr01support.htm CR-01 Robot].  Despite some laptop problems that prevented the P5Glove and CatherineTheCreative from functioning properly, we had a great deal of interaction and some of the best question and answer discussions ever.  Our thanks go out to Odom Elementary, the 5th grade students, Mr Mc Neil and the other teachers who all made Eric feel welcome!
