Some of my Dorkbot DC cohort put on an event each year that should quicken the hearts of cogheads everyhere: Robot Fest, held at the National Electronics Museum in Linthicum, MD. Lithium-where? Linthicum, Linthicum Heights, just north of the Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Now in its 9th year, the Fest offers hands-on workshops, demonstrations, displays of robots from TV and film, and lots of bots and bot builders to inspire and inform.
