Double 3 Telepresence Robot with Charging Dock

I just watched the presentation for this device from Double Robotics. I can see a use for this during the week of the winners' experience.

I could be cruising around as a talking head meeting everyone and putting names to faces and paying for occupying said machine for a few minutes. On that issue it would be nice to know who each person in the pictures is.

The Big Day

 

Seeing the winners sitting round the room

The smiles on their faces in full on bloom

Sharing time with judges and crew

The time has come to collect their due

 

One by one they'll take the stage

To receive rewards for ink on a page

Some will laugh, and some will cry

Thanking the ones that helped them fly

 

Family and friends, Father and Mother

All working together to help each other

The journey was long each step of the way

That led to their sharing The Big Day

 

Thanks for the daily blogs, it's been great watching the LA experience as it happened.

Is the 2022 ceremony available yet? I don't see it up on the site. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place!

It’s on the homepage when you land at the site. It should also be on YouTube. They’re all stored there.

If you go to https://www.writersofthefuture.com/ it is right on top.

Maybe a bit of confusion as last year's video was on the home page too, but I just updated that so only this year's event is on the home page.

Just to be safe the link for YouTube directly is here:
