From August 13th to 15th, 2003, Saurobot I was featured at National Instruments annual conference and trade show, NIWeek 2003 in Austin Texas.  On the 13th, we demonstrated the bot as part of the LabVIEW Revolution exhibition.  On the 14th, Dave Thomson made a presentation describing the design and construction of the first BattleBot powered by LabVIEW.
