Robothon09 Conference Vodcasts Available Online

I announced it in my Robothon09 First impressions post on Unzipped, and yesterday I noticed they were being uploaded, so here they are – the Robothon09 vodcasts. Now you can watch the presentations in their entirety from the comfort of your own desk. This again displays how on top of their game the Den Haag crew are. Go to the Blip.tv website and relive the excitement, or alternatively check out what you’ve been missing out on. Enjoy!
