[vcf-midatlantic] New robot

[Glenn Roberts]

Evan: do you have the Legos you need for your next project?  We're doing some downsizing at home (kid going off to college, plus we're moving/simplifying our life!).  If not, what are your needs?  We have accumulated quite a few pieces over the years (I was a Mindstorms coach about 10 years ago).
