Is this open to the public? It would have been nice to have known about it ahead of time.

My son and I just got back. No-one is checking tickets. There's valet parking and lots of space to park in the next door lots. It's a mixed bag. A fair number of people are showing off educational robotics ideas, not of all of which are interesting or novel. There are also few a high schools robotic teams (none from Palo Alto that I saw). But many of the leading local robotics companies don't seem to have a presence.

I've attended the Silicon Valley Robotics Robot Block Party and we should thank the companies and project teams that supported this community event as it is not a money maker for any of the exhibitors.
Furthermore, this event is well known to just about everyone in the robotics field so if a high school or company was not in attendance, then it was most likely their decision not to be there.
I read a comment about none of the exhibits being interesting or novel, well to that I would suggest that peolpe who feel that way put their superior talent to work and invent something interesting or novel and exhibit next year.
Cheers!
