Grand Re-Opening at Museum of Robots - in lieu of ribbon-cutting we flambéd a Robot

Robots Burns, Crowd Tears Up the Dance Floor and Brings Down the House
 
July 19 saw the grand re-opening event at Museum of Robots in Second Life. After an extensive redesign, with the addition of new exhibits, more space for the permanent collection and new theatre and event space, we hosted an event to celebrate.
 
We began by building and burning a large robot in the lava pit - the event was so well attended that the planned automatic destruction was completed manually for the safety of the audience. Fireworks and pyrotechnic displays filled the night sky.
 
Immediately following the robot torching, the massive crowd was entertained by popular artist Mankind Tracer, who played his top hits, as well as requests from the crowd.
 
Mankind was backed by his dancing Tracerettes, who wore the official Museum of Robots spacesuit. Many people attended in robot, android and cyborg avatars, and the crowd danced and sang along with the music.
 
The event brought down the house and introduced Museum of Robots to a new audience.
 
The burning robot was such a success that we’ve built it back in the lava pit for the week - visit it at
