Really, they are. Please everyone, come on down to the Robots Are Art Show, Contest, Weenie Roast and Singalong!

The show runs from December 13th to January 13th with a fun and exciting Gala on Saturday December 15th, from 6pm until midnight:

Robots will serve you Beer, paint paintings and even a disgruntled homeless robot will be on display. A presentation on the history of robotics by Frank Garvey will be shown at 6pm, along with raffle prizes and free robotic magazines.

This event will encompass a diverse group of robotic artists including mixed media, painters and kinetic artists. The contest will be 100% violence free*, and will focus on form, function, and fun. Prizes will be given for categories such as overall artistic aesthetics, unusual functionality, robots as a reflection of society, and incorporation of unusual objects to name a few.

This art show features the exciting premiere of Chassis, a beer robot created by The Head Rotor and illustrious kinetic artist Al Honig.

Mr. Robotics will also be judging the contest, along with Monty and Trevor Blackwell from Anybots.

Come on down for cookies and juice and nifty robot projects!

*(Because one-legged men in asskicking contests are not violent)
