Droid is one of our Meckies, in his robot vehicle. He opens shows, delivers scripted keynote bits, demos live navigation and conversation, and banters with your hosts on cue. Eva works your front desk while he works the room.
One takes the stage. One takes the door.
A scripted opening bit, producer-cued from a phone, no on-the-fly improv gambles, performed the way a person would rehearse it. Then the live part: he finds people, drives to marks, routes around your furniture, and answers questions in his own voice.
Eva greets your guests as they arrive: check-in charm, directions, event questions, and the first "wait, is that a robot?" moment of the day, before anyone reaches their seat.
A speaking fee for the appearance, plus expenses to get the robots to you, billed at cost, no markup on getting there.
Eva (or Droid) at your entrance for a half day: greetings, event questions, and the front-desk selfie moment.
A rehearsed 5 to 10 minute scripted bit to open your show, producer-cued, plus mingling with your guests after.
30 to 45 minutes with live demos: navigation, conversation, big-screen feeds, plus audience Q&A.
The full keynote for schools and nonprofits, travel included within 100 miles of Wichita (beyond that, travel at cost). Where scheduling allows, we add an afternoon classroom or club visit, a robotics club or a CS class, at no extra charge.
Standard packages plus travel expenses and battery shipping, billed at cost: mileage or freight for the robots, batteries drop-shipped to your venue, lodging, and venue setup time. Final quotes scale with segment length, script complexity, and rehearsal needs.
Once a month we bring a Meckie to one K-12 classroom, Scout troop, or youth group for travel costs only. It is a shorter, classroom-scale visit, not the full keynote: the robot, the questions, the wonder. One visit each month, and the slot goes by application.
Book at least 3 weeks ahead within driving range of Wichita, 6 weeks beyond it. The lead time is the act: every appearance is scripted and rehearsed to your run of show, and farther events add robot freight and battery delivery windows.
Dates, venue, audience, what you want the bit to do.
We write the segment with you and rehearse it to your run of show.
We arrive early, map your venue, set marks, and sound-check.
Producer-cued, reliable, and honest: everything the robot does on stage is real.
Dates, venue, what you want the room to feel like. Paid appearances get a quote and open dates by email; Community Visit applications get a reply either way.
