Roberta Fallon just posted a nice article on Robot 250, the citywide robot extravaganza we're having here in Pittsburgh.
Robot 250 – an old fashioned art and community project with a techno-twist -- is a piece of the city’s 250th birthday celebration.

Everyone was high on the project. The artists, in spite of difficulties with their electronically-controlled pieces in outdoor environments, were uniformly enthusiastic. | MORE |
The Mattress Factory's Robot 250-related exhibitions, Meet the Made and a.k.a. Crickets, run through August 31 and August 10, respectively.
